to sell or not to sell?
here's a question i've been pondering... the bike i recently bought (used) came with a set of mavic equipe 700c's as well as the stock alex at-400's. Both have cassettes (albeit, different ones - go figure, which is a pain) on them and QR's. should i keep the alex rims for backups or try to sell them? or should i sell the mavic rims and use that $$ to pay for the bike? i got a sweet price on the package in the first place... so i should be happy i was able to get the mavics at all.
just curious what you guys thought.
fyi the bike is a '04 specialized allez pro.

Sounds like you need a money management course.

Interesting question, my first thought was sell both and get some better wheels, then I looked on Ebay and saw what your current wheels were going for, around 30-50 for the Alex's and $150 for Equipes, so if you got really good prices for them, you would have about $250-$300, might as well keep them both. Your not going to be able to much after selling the Alex's and it would be nice to have an extra set around.
