True.
I was just trying to make the point that something like "light wheels" isn't easy to get without paying heaps of cash.
I bought a second hand set of Easton Tempest II's for my TT bike and paid more for that second hand wheel set than many people in the hybrid forum have paid for their entire bike.
You get what you pay for ... and in cycling the lightness of components is an inverse square function to money.
