Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Zipp 404s will make any bike faster, even a Fredesque Trek. But it won't make that Pilot a Madone.

Get a grip.

I thought about putting spinergy rev-x's on my trek 7.3fx when I was 14.
Then I realized the horror of that idea.

Don't put wheels that are more expensive than your bike...on your bike.
You'd be killed by the road nazi's. And anyone with common sense.
