At that price, they can't be legit... Used would be significantly more so that alone is an indication something can't be right...

I know they are not "real" Zipp's. But they are about $2,300 less. Just wondering if anyone has purchased these knock off's and how well they have held up.

I think what Jan is saying is that the site itself is likely a scam... not just that they are knock offs.  I'd rather buy knock offs that legitimately own up to being knock offs.  Any site in China that is playing off like its selling you the real deal at a tenth of the cost, I'd steer clear of.

IMHO you're better off with a used Hed3 front and Wheelbuilder cover for your current rear.  You'd be all in for ~$500 or so and you'd get 95% the benefit w/o worrying about identity theft or an unusual $5000 charge on your master card.

Remeber why we do this, we all have our reasons. I had trained for six months, and it was now time to actually do my first sprint triathlon.

My journey began after visiting a friend in the hospital after his wife had just had twins. I noticed immediately that he looked great. He had easily lost 30 pounds since the last time I had seen him.

Ironman is all consuming and deciding to complete one can never be taken lightly. Triathlon is a lifestyle, so don’t rush the journey to your first Ironman; enjoy your new way of life.

Now, for the last 20 years I’ve always though that jogging seemed about as interesting as watching paint dry, and you know what? That’s how it turned out to be.
