Great things come to those who wait. I finally got my wheel from Renn. It took almost two months to actually take posession of the wheel. At the brink of frustration for such a wait, it finally arrived.
I raced it at a local time trial event and managed to cut 1:05 mins off of my 12 mile TT time. I could be explained as new gear syndrome, but I like to think of it as a great wheel that came to a guy who waited for quality and economy. The two terms can cohabitate, and are resident at RENN.
