What fix are they in? They're bicycle parts business can't be doing too badly if they can afford to set up a brick and mortar store in Santa Barbara. That's some of the most expensive real estate in California.

Doesn't it bother anyone else that the Sultan's first eBay listing after all this time is for a wheelset with a cheesey Normandy freewheel hub that is described as a freehub and even comes with a cassette? After reading the last sentence in the description, where he says that the wheelset is good for cyclocross or touring because you don't have to worry about broken axles, I sent a message to him asking what's up because I know he knows better. I haven't received a reply.

The spokes don't look like stainless to me, either.
