This is a feature, not a bug, to that niche market these days. Its a fashion statement more than anything now, heck the pair that I was outbid on last week went for 1.3k and the bike shop that I trust the most told me not to get spinergies because the owner knows someone who had part of his ear severed. I doubt he would work them if I brought them in. People who want those wheels know what they are buying, and its because of their reputation, not despite, that they command such a high price. I doubt people are buying them to ride hard, I was going to keep them in the box as a store of value or put them on a townie bike as a weird flex.
