That's what I was thinking too.

Everything on a bike works together. I've found that you can almost never upgrade just one part. Every time that I've tried to do that I've had to buy something else to make it work. This particular wheelset looks to me like it could be the poster child for that issue.

One other thing. While $275.00 might be a good price for that wheelset, do you really want to turn a cheap old bike into an expensive old bike?
