or a little on the cheap side? looks like i would need to purchase an quick release axle.
for just a couple bucks LESS, I'd pick this one up from Niagara: better rim (Sun CR-18 is a known and durable brand/model) and better spokes (DT Swiss stainless, not plated steel)...the hub is probably the same or similar.
A QR skewer might even be included...

Edit: If you hunt around on Niagara's site, you'll see they also sell the same 27" wheel you link from that eBay auction, and the price is a couple bucks less. It's actually not a bad rim (Alex AP-18) but I think the SunCR18 is a better rim and a better wheel deal...you decide.
