  1. in the market for a trick set of wheels, but don't want to spend a
    fortune for wheels that can only do one thing? Well, how about a set
    of wheels that can do anything? Anything, well, almost.

    I've got a set (three, actually) of Zipp 404 dimpled rims (the road
    rims, not the brake track-less track rims) built up on Shimano Ultegra
    hubs, 28h rear(s) and 24h front. They were built up custom for me
    earlier this spring and have been very lightly used. The wheels are in
    perfect shape and the tires show very little wear.

    The front is laced radially, the rears are 2x, butted spokes front and
    rear. One of the rear wheels has the cassette body replaced with a
    Surly fixxer cassette hub converter to use on the track, the other
    still takes cassettes.

    I've got Conti Sprinters (the gatorskin versions) mounted on all three
    wheels. So, I can use the front with the cassette rear for road events
    or pair up the front with the converted rear on the track. W/ the
    higher spoke count than what come on the stock Zipp wheels, these
    wheels are much stiffer than the stock versions and therefore work
    well even under someone of my girth.

    I suppose if I wanted to, I could peel the tires off and use the
    wheels for cyclocross racing. Now, that's a versatile set of wheels.

    For the set of three, asking $1200, and I'll pay to ship within
    CONUS.
    The front wheel alone: $350.
    Either rear wheel: $450

    For the wheel that's converted to a track wheel, I'll include the
    cassette body (it's brand new, never used) so you can easily convert
    it from road to track if you wish.
