Wheels can be returned/adjusted.
As soon as I have my money saved, I'll be going the BD route for the mere reason that was mentioned here: The group on some bikes alone is worth more than the entire bike.
My intention for the BD bike was for commuting purposes, and as for being sold a lemon, the particular BD bike that I purchased is still being sold in 2010 with the very same frame, wheels, and components as was in 2007.
The only thing different in 2010 than in 2007 is that BD now has a photo gallery of the bike, but still the photo gallery does not show the flex issues that I experienced in the frame, stem, and wheels that only a hands on test ride will reveal.
