Just like a $2000 set of golf clubs is not going to make an occasional golfer with a wicked slice a better golfer...or a $150 pair of running shoes is not going to make a recreational runner run faster. I'm just trying to give the OP some practical advice.
Exactly. The entire golf industry is predicated on selling $700 drivers to guys who can't break a hundred if they play the ball down.
And that was my point. OP...if you are still out there, have Psimet make you some $500 dollar wheels which you will love and take the rest
and buy the best frameset you can find.
