its a way good deal i think - anybody else get in on this one??
I bought that exact wheelset but from Nashbar. They are fine wheels, but make sure to get them tensioned and trued and de-stressed by a good mechanic before riding them if you really want the best results (as you should with all questionable prebuilt wheels).

My set has almost 2000 miles on them and are holding up strong. The CXP22 rims are sort of like a tamed-down deep V shape. (You also can use normal-length valve stems)

That wheelset gets my vote if you're looking for something pretty cheap with decent parts. The one I got from Nashbar is spaced 120mm, but had a long axle so you could theoretically space it to 130 or whatever if you needed to and still have the track nuts grab enough thread on the axle.
