For that price, I wonder how they compare performance wise with the Zipp VumaQuad?

I know where I'd put my money.

Wow, that's not cheap. You can get the Clavicula's for a grand more and a couple of hundred grams less weight (420g with bb assembly):

But what about the waiting list for these. By that time the race is over.

 

[javadude]

Ja, you have to wait 10 weeks or something. I'm too fat and poor anyway. They have an 85KG weight limit.

[AndreZA]

Both are nice but not as nice as...

Those Fulcrums are cool. Will look really good with my Racing 3's. I should trade in my Chorus for those.

I think the Clavicula weight and the price you posted excludes the chainrings, but I agree !00%, the DA carbons are outrageously expensive, esp. compared to Record.
