I think you're right -- in fact I'm gunna charge out and get some new wheels for the 531.

Any suggestions on the cheapest way to throw reasonable wheels together?

I'm thinking Ultegra hubs for just under $200, and a pair of CXP33s for about $220, then suck up to someone for cheap spokes.

My "buddy" at Bicycle Recycle (Darren) sold me my Ultegra cassette for just over cost -- the guys at Fitzroy Cycles in Carnegie quoted me $145 for a 11/21 nine speed Ultegra!!
