Which training wheelset to keep?
A good pal of mine and I are trying to work on how much to compensate him for giving me a hand with some flooring. He'd like a wheelset and I have a choice of wheelsets to give him.

One has Ultegra hubs and Mavic CP33 rims, and has practically new Continental Ultra Gatorskins. The wheelset is about 8 years old but still has a lot of life in it. This wheelset has an Ultegra 12-27 cassette.

The other is an old Rolf Vector Pro wheelset, with a very worn Michelin ProRace rear tire and a quite new Vredestein Fortezza on the front. This wheelset has a Dura Ace 11-23 cassette. The rims also have a lot of life in them.

The cassettes are comparable, I reckon.

What is the approx. worth of these, in your opinion?
