Well, I've met the guy, I bought wheels from him, he's been in my house. He is a skinny Asian guy as some of you have already said (me? I'm a 50+ white guy with a middle age gut), English is not his native language. He did have a sense of humor, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is all a joke on his part, having maybe realized the first time he said something like this on the forum it got a rise out of everybody. He sold me the wheels at a very reasonable price, in fact I can't bear to pay anywhere near half the price of new wheels these were so cheap (Velomax Tempest, the older version, the current ones run something like $750. I'd still be riding them if I hadn't crashed the front one hard enough that I dented the car with it, the wheel itself only broke 2 spokes but had barely enough of a bend that it isn't worth straightening. The rear is Shimano and my current bike is Campy.)

My guess is he's pulling our collective legs.
