So how are the wheels? I once bought a pair of wheels a guy had taken off a BD bike and sold on CL, and they were CRAP. Fortunately the price was still right ($60 for wheels, tires, tubes, and skewers), and my purpose in buying them was for backup and tuning/(re)building practice.

Anyways, if you haven't yet, I highly recommend cracking those hubs open, liberally greasing, and tightening them up appropriately to get them as smooth as possible. Mine were ridiculously crunchy when I got them -- and I think the same as yours.
