I lost my front tooth to a flying bar stool. No joke. Ended up being about $4k in dental costs because I didn't have dental insurance at the time.

i missed out on that, they got sold.
i found another wheelset: Velocity Deep -V
am told they are: like new painted flat black (silver under the paint), rides very smooth they have quando hubs
one spoke is bent, you can see it in the picture, and im told it dose not effect the ride and they dont need to be trued.
what do you guys think?
this is for my fixed gear & i use the brakes..so im sure the paint will come off quick.
i talked him down to $60 for the set.

Arione works for me. I tested quite a few saddles and ended up coming back to the Arione.
For instance, everyone loves the Turbo, but for 50+mi rides it was absolutely painful for me.
