Bleah. $350.

And then I find a deal on chainreaction for an Easton EC-70 front wheel, for $279 delivered. And it winds up being *lighter* than the Reynolds!

So now my wheels are mismatched. Booo.

But I think I may put the Reynolds front on my Big Dummy. So yay?
Crabon rim on a Big Dummy? It's about time someone did that!
