303's are a great choice for lighter riders, people who want light & pretty aero, and/or wheels for crosswinds. I'd love to have a pair for my wife's bike. If the price is good I wouldn't hesitate to race with those wheels, if I were you. Heck I'd race with them if the price was good.

So, what's a good price? Well, I believe 2003 303's are going for about $1200 or so for a pair. A few online shops still have 2002 303's for $895 or so. Take it from there...

One thing to check is the hubs. I'm not an expert on the changes to Zipp's over time, but there was a period sometime prior to 2002 when the hubs where less than stellar. Maybe someone else can comment.

I would be willing to pay $500-600, but that is just one persons opinion. Hopefully, you'll get others.

Regardless 303's would be very high on my list of an ideal setup for a lot of female riders.

How light is a 'lighter' rider? I'm not exactly petite (5'9", 145#).

point me to where I can find zipp 303 for $895. My woman is wanting to get some fast. I'm trying to convince her to get a disc rear. She weighs 130 lbs.

I checked there and they only have tubalar 650 cc set. I need a 700 cc set.

Carol, I think 303s may be ideal for IM Wisconsin. They are light and aero and quite strong. Hard to wrong with these dep[ending on the "deal".

Don't worry about that, the 303s are not a wheel for light riders only. In fact, they are stiffer in the vertical plane than the 404s, and the rim is overbuilt to accomodate crit racing. This is also why Zipp was able to take so much weight out of that rim for the Z3, whereas the weight gain is much less when going from a 404 to a Z4.
