Help me make a wheel decision, please
I just picked up my new CAAD9 today. I am thinking of selling the Mavic Ksyrium Elite's that came with it. I already have a guy who will pay me $400 for them. I usually train and race on Bontrager Race X Lites which I love. My dilema is, should I get another pair of Race X Lites, have Mike Garcia build me a set of wheels or should I just keep the elites and train on them, then race on the bonty's.
I know I can get the x lites new off ebay for around $550 and I should be able to get a nice set of wheels from MG for $400 or so which would be an upgrade over the elites without costing me anything. Decisions, decisions....

Sell the elites.
A) Have MG build you up a light racing set, train on the X-lites
B) Have MG build you up a sweet training set, race on the x-lites (what I would do)
