awesome ebay score

my wife just scored on this auction. we've been looking at new bikes with sora/tiagra at the same price. anyone ride a litespeed hyperion?
now if a 55cm bianchi pista would just pop up on ebay...
anyway she's psyched. quite a step up from her old cdale mtn bike with slicks she's been using on the road, although now she's arguably got a better bike than me!...

ahh i spocked out the geometry on it first. actually it's listed as a 47 cm with a 50.2 cm tt which is perfect. as for the wheels i think they're more than fine. i ride a lighter set up with a 16 spoke radial front and i outweigh her by 60 pounds. thanks for the reply tho...

Shimano says don't do it cus there is not enogh meat in the flange between the spoke hole and the outer flange edge. Easy enough to compare hubs that can be and ones that shouldn't be.

I was just complaining 'cause it seems that 51cm's never seem to show up on ebay, especially for good Bianchi's. The grass is always greener (or is that celeste...)
