Hey everyone--I'm about to purchase these 404 tubular from someone out of state. Can you guys/gals take a look at the pics below and tell me what you think?

Are they a GO or NO GO from what you can see. They're 2006 with about 250mi., no cracks/dents and true according to the seller. Only some nicks to the hub.

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Hi,

They look pretty nice, but I thought I would point out that one of the rear non-drive side spokes is akwardly bent where it enters the hub. This is the problem when buying wheels used. You have no idea of the true mileage or crash history. They will probably be fine.....just thought I would offer a word of caution. I would definitely inquire as to why that spoke is bent.

Good luck.
