Are these wheels a good buy ?

Hi All,

A colleague has just offered me a set of the Bontrager Aeolus 5.0 carbon wheels, including Dura Ace cassette, for £500.

The wheels were bought new in March 2009 and the rear is essentially new, it went to Trek for a rebuild 100miles ago. The cassette has only done 100miles as well.

So, what do you think ? I was thinking of getting a set of Fulcrum Racing3 wheels, I'm not into racing, and I realise that these might look a little daft on my Trek 1.9, but it seens a goot price. What do you think ?

Is there anything I should look out for with these wheels ?

Thanks for any advice...........

Matt

    That's a very good price and as Trek own Bontrager they won't look out of place on your bike.
