As an example:

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing; at $290 (at ProBikeKit.com), the Campagnolo Scirocco are less expensive, lighter, and more aero than any of the Velomine selections, of which, only the Mavic OP UST are even worth looking at, IMO. Moving up the Campy/Fulcrum price range the weights drop more.

Another great looking option are the $369 Novatec Jetfly u4.0, which are 20mm internal, 32mm deep, and weighing in around 1600g:

Ah, they look out of stock at Novatec, but I’d check around the web. Apparently PBK, according to reviews on their product page, is shipping the u4s despite the listing showing U2 specs; I’d call and confirm.
