You're talking to a guy who builds wheels for the spiritual experience.
I've been known to do things like build up wheelsets around Maillard Helicomatic hubs just to catch up on an experience that I missed twenty years ago. About the only time I ever buy used wheels is if I'm at a swapmeet and come up with a bargain that's too good to resist.
