Saw a custom built wheelset on LBS, marked down to $400 from $600:
-Campy Record hubset (06/07) silver, Dtswiss r1.1 rims, dt competition spokes, 28 f/28/r. All brand new, build up and sitting on shop floor for 1yr+, finally got marked down.

I've a 20% off coupon from the LBS, so I would probably pay 400-20% = $320 out the door.

Want to get an idea how much ongoing market price for a pair of custom wheels like that? good/fair deal?

surf around to various online shops for comparisons... but for 320 it would be a good deal

Sounds pretty good. Definitely cheaper than Excel Sports build with similar specs.

Grab it.

thanks you for all the feedback, got down the LBS and grab it. comes with a pair of zipp qr.
end up paid $346 out the door after tax.
LBS is Sports Basement, Sunnyvale, CA.
take it out for test ride 1st thing tomorrow morning...

that's a good price for things now. there was a time when you could get a record/open pro wheels from performance for under $250. i should've picked some up.

that was a good deal, particularly since the silver Record hubs are becoming like collectors' items.

I picked up some of those a few years back. They were $299 minus a %20 coupon. Smoking good deal and they're still smooth and straight.

Do you reckon they have any more wheelsets left? I can always use a few more..

Great find tho!

This is their last custom wheelset. Since Sports basement is a retail sports shop, they not suppose to be in "custom" business. A former shop employee ordered the parts by mistake, so they write off the loss by building it up and sell at cost or below.
If they indeed made a 2nd mistake like this, I'll inform you right away :-)

Sports Basement is a great store, better in person than online though,

I was eyeing those exact set of wheels for the past two months at SB and thought about getting them. Never could justify it since I have two other sets of wheels laying around. They are indeed great value for what you pay for them.
Now I can rest and not have to wrestle with that decision any longer.
