Default I think I stole this on EBAY!!

Over the labor day weekend I purchased a 1999 Aegis Aro Svelte frame (54 cm) with carbon fork, Dura Ace BB, head set, and a pair of handlebars for $256. By the pix and description it looks darn good. I expected they'd go $600 plus!!

I also grabbed a Gipiemee Grecal Wheel set for $105!!

I expected to lose both of these auctions, but I think being labor day weekend the other watchers were distracted.

Looks like I'll be building a bike up in the next week or so!



Any others think they got a good deal??

Pretty good prices for both but.. why did you buy a pair of grecals when you already have a pair of (similar) Xaero-X? also the weight is very similar (spinergy = 1810, gipiemme = 1780)...

I have 9 bicycles. I need more wheels. It is good to know the gipies are lighter.

Unfortunately Fed X has lost the wheels I stole on Ebay. They mentioned that the wheels may have been stolen at Haggerstown!!! I hate thieves!!

My ride was great! I had to adjust the shifting afterward due to cable stretch, but all else is great! Saturday I will be riding 50-60 miles.
