Bikes: '08 Bianchi C2C Alum/Carbon Ultegra/105 Mix, '06 Santa Cruz Chameleon

I test road a '07 OCR A1 (red and silver in color)which is the composite frame with 105 and the Tektro long reach brakes and Xero wheels. It too was a leftover. The bike felt fine, and the LBS worked with me to get a decent fit by swapping the stem and saddle position. They had a good deal on it, but on the test ride the Xero front wheel would rub the front brake pad while turning, or shifting my weight. So I talked to them about it and they said they could tighten up the spokes. I didn't think that would help, and passed on the deal.
For the price the frame is nice, but like other said, get new rims. I didn't purchase this bike because of the wheels.
3.5hrs is a pretty far ride for a deal.
