Kinda think I've already made my mind up, but interested in opinions of people on here who have either Fulcrum 5's or Quattro's, or my other option, Campagnolo Scirocco wheels.
All a similar weight, but I prefer the look of the Campag...

I have the Campag Zonda's and they trully are a nicely finished wheelset.

My mate has the Quattro's and said they made a huge difference to his Spesh Allez after the swap. Only difference between the 5 and the Quattro is the deeper, more aero, rim on the Quattro.

And the weight, and the red spoke nipples, and the anti-rotation spokes!

Even more drawn to the Campag' s now, if I buy before tomorrow they can be had for £162 in Halfords, not seen them that cheap anywhere else..
 
My only concern would be that the wheels will probably need trueing slightly after a month and the rear wheel is a bit awkward due to the design (if you have never trued a wheel before).

Fulcrum are very closely associated with Campagnolo so you get the same quality

Sadly only with the Capag hub, I need Shimano.
Had thought about the spoke layout and possible issues with trying, but they look well good^_^
Maybe the Quattro' s are the better option, they look pretty cool too

According to the Fulcrum website, both the Racing 5's and the Quattro's coming with red nipples and the same spokes...with only 80g penalty on the Quattro's.

I have bought loads from PBK and no issues. Never bought a built bike though. Purchasing components should still be fine.
