I've been offered the chance to buy these wheels for £80. What do you think?

Wolber TX Profil rims, (old but little use) Shimano 600 front hub (recently refurbished by Paul Hewitt),
Dura Ace 10s rear hub, plain gauge spokes. Front wheel weighs 900gms, rear 1040gms, 32 spokes front/rear
(weighed without skewers, cassette, tyres).
They'll be fitted to my XACD titanium frame which will form my "sportive" bike. My weight? 11st 10lbs.

Thanks.

    depends on condition as to whether they are worth it

    They aren't light though. You could pick up a brand new set of Aksiums for not much more and they'd be lighter.

    My advice is spend a bit more and get something sub 1700g.
