Doesn't fit in Classic/vintage, so: is this worth it? Bontrager Race-X Lite for $65.

Wheelset...or...?
You can get RXL handlebars, stems, seatposts, carbon water bottle cages, etc. Some are worth $65 on CL; others are not.

I thought items for sale belong in the For Sale forum.

Sure, those are worth a $65 roll of the dice. You can feel with your fingers if the brake tracks are overly worn, and you can spin them (preferably on a stand) to verify that they are reasonably true (as claimed). The older paired-spoke design wasn't that great, but still decent for that kind of money.

Anyways, he seemed to be a mechanic from the pics so I hope they are good. Would 700c tires fit on a 26" wheel mtb?

Bontrager paired spoke wheels = cracked rims on bikes that I've had. This would be on two Lemond (Trek era) and one Trek hybrid bikes.
