I'm a fan of the oft-maligned Arabesque group. Hung it on my Tempo and it performs wonderfully.

Your group is pretty much everything you need to build a bike. That can be good for some but for me, things like stem, bars and seatpost are typically something I source separately to fit.

Any value in the wheelset is often lessened by increased shipping cost. A buyer like me would be more interested in just the hubs with intent of using with specific rims I select for the build.

To a person looking for an Arabesque group, I think $125-$150. You could leave the rims, bars and stem out (but keep the hubs in) and the price stays the same. Maybe +$50 to a person that wants the entire lot as is.
