For a while now I have been debating buying a new 10 speed shimano cassette for my Bontrager Race wheels. However, a new 10 speed cassette just never fell into my lap... until now...

Find the below craigslist listing, for a pair of Shimano WH-R550 wheels, matched to a 10 speed HG cassette, with spanking new Hutchinson tires mounted. 100 bucks....

https://houston.craigslist.org/bik/397009660.html

The bonus goodies include, skewers, and...... WHEEL BAGS!!! That's right, I didn't have to buy Mavic Limited Edition Sl's the seller just threw in his with the sale. That will likely increase my average by at least 1mph, and make my bike .5 lbs lighter. So now I have the most basic shimano wheels in the blingest of wheel bags. P-Cad be proud of me

The real kicker is the conversation I had with the seller;

Seller- Hi, are you still interested in buying the wheels
Me- Yes
Seller- Good, I was afraid I was going to have to throw them away.
Me- NO, seriously stop talking, I'm coming over right now, don't throw them away
Seller- Ok, I am going to throw away my wheel bags too, do you want them?
Me- STOP THROWING AWAY CYCLING SCHWAG!!!!

Some fool beat me to THIS. I emailed the guy when it was still at the top of the list - i.e., RIGHT AFTER it was listed on Craigslist. Still, I was apparently too late.

I missed a Toupe at $50 about a week ago.

$850 and it came with perfectly fine DA 8 speed brifters and Ksyrium SSC-SL's in black - both of which I changed out.
