Early report is that it is from the Embassy Suites in Valencia... And it is bigger than a bread box.

Everyone here has already decided you're getting a set of Zipps, etc, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was your wheel plus a CSC shirt or something. I'm just as anxious as everyone else to see what it is though.

I'm thinking a signed CSC jersey...and his yellow wheel.

ha ha ha ... money on the "your wheel plus a ups-return label" so you can send the wheel you've been holding back!
seriously, crossing my fingers for you!

It most likely NOT a set of Zipps since they would not be sent out from the Valencia Embassy Suites. I am gonna go with yellow wheel and a thank you note from Bobby J

That would be pretty funny, in a bad sort of way. I hope they at least did *something* nice for him, for all his troubles! Waiting, waiting.......

Box:
Contents:
A good haul:
Signed by the team: baseball hat, cycling hat, bag
Signed by Julich: 3 pics
Misc: Water bottle
Together at last:
Not a set of Zipps, but I'm happy... I will be re-telling this story for a long time.

Were those pic's of him on your wheel?
Did they ask for the old wheel back?

I feel kinda like a kid on Christmas who wanted a BB gun but got a scarf and mittens instead.

That pic was right before he grabbed the signed bag and ran off to toss it off the 2nd floor. He is a handful.
Here's a thread/vid of him biking: Balance_Bike

No, they didn't ask for the wheel back and the pics were the std. publicity shots.

Nice! At least they put *some* effort into it - and you know, having that kind of story to tell (along with the pics some have posted with him riding his bike with YOUR wheel on it) is just really cool in and of itself. Well done!

Great story, by far the best story I have read on ST, bar none!
You should try and get Bobby J to sign the pic of him riding your wheel.
Thanks for sharing!
Peace,

PS great looking son

Now you need to call Zipp and claim you were JRA and the wheel just broke! That is warranty right? At least do a crash replacement if possible.

Yeah, what I'm thinking about is keeping the Rim as a souvenir. I don't think that I will be able to play it off as a warranty item... This story has gone pretty wide. Do Zipps have serial numbers?
