andre, aerospokes are obviously not the most economical of products man, but if your going to be a jerk and spend some unnecessary dollars to have some fun then you have to take into account the fact that s*** may and probably will happen and you probably deserve it. If you're going to worry about money down to the last dollar then formula, velocity and some crappy road frame will solve your problems on the cheap and tuff handbuilds...which are also fun to build and maintain on your own...are obviously more practical. but we're just having fun cuz!!
