LiveToRide:
I bought the zipp 404 tubular 650c wheels but I love your new wheels! They look like they're ready to tackle anything you give them.
rudywagon:
Thanks! They're Topeak Pro Pack. I got them because they won't scratch my seat post and they look pretty cool too.
GLC1968:
I plan on keeping the old wheels as a spare. Since the new wheels have a deep profile and I'm very light, I think I will have to rely on the stock wheels when it's windy out.
And thanks everyone for your nice comments!

Zipp 404s are a great wheelset! They would've been on my list if I had been looking for a wheelset with a deeper profile this time around...I hope you'll add some more pictures once you get them on your bike!? And thank you! A good all around wheelset was what I was going for with this build.

I saw that bike sitting in a bike shop when it first came out. It is an eye-catcher! The had it on display right by the front door and it is definitely an OOOHHH, AHHHHH bike. Simply beautiful........especially with Zip 404's (the Reynolds are great too). Enjoy her!

Thanks everyone! I will definitely take more extensive pictures once the wheels arrive. I'm so excited even though it's in the teens right now!

I was wondering what the stand over height was on your diva with the 650 wheels, and what did you mean by sacrificing fit between the diva and the orca dama. I'm looking at the orca dama right now but am wondering if I should look for a diva instead but there aren't any diva's near for me to test out.
