Need your opinion on this deal please
I'm looking at a used wheelset off a Bianchi bike. Here's the deal: Velocity Aeroheads laced to Suzue ProMax High Flange 36H hubs and brand new Pasela Panaracers with a used 17t cog for $250. I know the rims and hubs have great reviews. How do you think the price is?
I think the classic look of these hubs will look great on the Mondia I am rebuilding.
Thanks

I was looking this wheelset from Velomine plus some Panaracers. H + Plus Son TB14 Silver Fixed Gear Formula Track Hubs Wheelset [74021] - $179.00 Velomine.com : Worldwide Bicycle Shop, fixed gear track bike wheelsets campagnolo super record vintage bike
In the grand scheme of things after I pay shipping and taxes and bought new tires and a cog it would come out to more than the package I am being offered. Of course, the Velomine set would be new. That's good, but they are machine built and need to be trued. The deal on the table is a hand built set and and has the nicer high flange Suzue hubs. The TB14s are supposed to be great rims, but then again so are those Velocity Aeroheads. Very light and stiff. So I am thinking it's a good deal. But I wanted a second opinion from some of you who know better!

Your cog is slipping.

Is this the wheelset posted in the marketplace that you sent a PM about back on the 10th? Just buy them already!

This set is local to me. That other set is a bargain, but I think I will pull the trigger on this one today. Just wanted a second opinion. Thanks.
