Well, considering I just bought it an hour ago... bah. Came with a free heart rate monitor at least.
I'll probably stroke out after I learn how much it doesn't do on the first ride anyways. YAY

Just bought a set of Fulcrum Racing Zero Ltd. Edition for my Colnago C59.
Took them out for a ride this morning...what a sweet set of wheels.
Here is a review:

I will post pics of the wheels in my bike and a more complete report.

I had excel sports build me a new front wheel as I went stupid during the pro challenge and left it in the parking lot. Fortunately I have a spare front wheel.

I've decided to give clipless a try on my Trek 1.2. I went with an inexpensive set that are flat one side for conventional pedaling (Wellgo WPD‑M17C). First ride to the office today and while I had one close call, didn't fall over.
I learned that pedals can be VERY hard to remove. I finally had to hang my head in shame and bring it to the LBS to get the left pedal off.

Yeah I made sure I was going the right way and tried the allen key too. Wrecked one wrench getting the right pedal off and just couldn't get the left and starting to round it. Doses of liquid wrench in there were no help either. Even LBS mechanic had some trouble, but he got it pulling on the pedal wrench at the same time as a long allen key. All good now.

for ribblecycles.co.uk for shipping these out asap. I've made purchases from PBK, Wiggle, Chainreactioncycles but never from ribble until now. Prior to ordering from them, I emailed and asked if orders were processed and shipped out the same day and their response was yes. I placed an order first thing Thursday morning; by Friday evening, no updates as the order was still showing as being processed. I called Ribble before my morning Sat. ride and asked why my order wasn't shipped on Thursday. The gentleman explained they were a day or two behind because of how busy the warehouse was. To my surprise, I received an email Sat. evening with a tracking # via USPS EMS and these were delivered this afternoon. Our doorman had it in his hands as he saw me walking through the lobby. 
Just waiting for the Tune campagnolo freehub and Recon cassette to get my Ridley back on the road.
