Thanks, all is well, just some bruises and scrapes.
Thanks, now to try and not use my front brake to keep them just black and gold. I really liked the archetypes laced to formulas, but out of the budget.
No, it was by a military guy on base, and I made a quick judgment from his lower rank, ****ty van, and the direction he was coming from that he was a family man with kids, so I said to keep it between us. Little did I know he was a huge tool bag, I could type out the whole fiasco if you wanna hear it. TL
R version, he paid me $240 for wheels + shipping and new bar tape + shipping, not without an argument and threatening to go to the cops first though...
Because everyone likes pictures, rim was pretty Z'ed up, broke a nipple.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a great one.... I'm actually in between bike shops right now because I can't stand the shop where I bought my bike. I vowed to never patronize there again. I have another in mind that's actually closer to where I live. I'm gonna check them out.

A set of 600 tricolor hubs laced to open sports in pristine condition just arrived at the office. Best $75 I've spent in a long time.

Nice, you can't go wrong with a solid wheelset for under $100. I scored a Fizik Kurve Chameleon off of CL for only $75. I rode an Antares for 10mo but never really loved it, so this a step up.

Thats true. I just don't feel 100% comfortable. Right now I'm running a suicide hub but the cog is red loctite'd, even though I can skid I still feel uneasy about it.
