Building that wheelset would cost considerably more than $400 so if they're in good shape (and built properly), it's a great deal.

It is a good price based on the MSRP for those componants. But I don't think that the quality of them is worth the price. You may think different.

heavy, bulletproof, and a fantastic deal if the condition is as stated.
