zipp 1080 / 808 wow!!!
what do you guys think... overkill on the wheels unless i'm holding 27+mph constantly. haha.
they're actually for a p2c that i'm building up, but i just couldn't resist popping them on the road bike. definitely feel like i can go hunting for some tri-geeks out on road with these wheels. looks alone = money well spent IMHO.

re: bar tape. haha... i've long stopped trying to keep white bar tape white, if anything, its a good indicator that the bike is being ridden or perhaps a good deterrent to a potential bike thief without gloves??

One thing that has worked reasonably well for me (although mine are not that dirty) is regular rubbing alcohol (isopropyl).

Those are awesome wheels on an equally awesome bike. Now get them off the road bike and onto a proper time machine...
