They are beautiful -- and reportedly quite high performing. You didn't ask, but if you are shopping for parts -- Merlincycles.com has been my go-to source for low-cost full groupsets and wheelsets of all stripes. I hope you will post a link to a picture when you get it built. <br /><br />And many congrats on taking care of the knees and taking up the sport!Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722786211652015559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-26687211107346640252014-09-15T20:50:32.254-07:002014-09-15T20:50:32.254-07:00I am new to cycling..at age 49...because my orthop...I am new to cycling..at age 49...because my orthopedic surgeon who reconstructed both my knees says so ("Don't run, cycle!"). So after buying an old but remarkably well maintained and tuned Centurion Dave Scott Ironman (1986, Shimano 600, gray and silver) to beat up with my240 pounds as I get in shape and get my cycling legs under me, I found a Craigslist ad the other day for a NeuvationBike auction by a company out of Atascadero, CA (near Mr. Neugent's base of SLO). To make a long post short, I bought a carbon fiber frame for $80 plus the 15 percent auction fee for a total of $92! Can't wait to build it out.dms@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181062487075071083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-1154537968319955182014-07-14T11:33:05.293-07:002014-07-14T11:33:05.293-07:00I prefer the hybrid approach: buy expensive and of...I prefer the hybrid approach: buy expensive and often.<br /><br />But I'm still not any faster.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215727841155911987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-4296919566911289482014-07-14T10:12:25.624-07:002014-07-14T10:12:25.624-07:00One could write a book about the differences in ou...One could write a book about the differences in our approaches to gear shopping. You've certainly had success with the "get what you pay for" approach. My own has been "buy cheap and frequently and something will work out."

The Zipps seem remarkably durable and hold their true better than one would expect. You pay for it, of course.<br /><br />I think Neuvation needs a different name. It doesn't sound fast, but more like an unwieldy and laborious process. But maybe others disagree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383376886256041817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-44836137907172194902014-07-01T14:59:51.136-07:002014-07-01T14:59:51.136-07:00I've got about as many wheels as Imelda Marcos...I've got about as many wheels as Imelda Marcos has shoes. About half of them thanks to Neuvation's sales.<br /><br />I've had more out-of-true issues with them than I've had with Ksyriums, but then for a few hundred bucks for a lightweight wheelset, it's tough to complain.<br /><br />Regardless, I'm glad to see him back. Presumably he's structuring this business so he can stay low-volume. I hope he can be successful with it.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215727841155911987noreply@blogger.com
