Reynold's R Four wheelset at Performance
Performanace Bike Shop has a set of new 2016 Reynolds R Four wheelset for $800. Should I jump on this? Thoughts? Normally go for $1749.00.

That said, they're damn fine wheels for the money. I have a set and they are very stiff, light (~1500g), roll very well, and have smooth hubs.
Do note however that they are the older, thinner profile style, so the max width tire you can run on it is 25.
*Plus, if you're a Performance Member, you'll get $80 back in store credit for future purchases.

Just pulling your chain.
