um .... no.

I need a good bike and I have some money right now. This might be the time to buy it.

However, buying a proper wheel might be more prudent.

My LBS hasn't called so I don't know what they're up to down there. Maybe just too busy to do anything with it. Should I just go get it and not even pay to have that spoke replaced and wheel trued? I mean, even if they fix it, I'm not gonna use it anymore.
