Ya gotta get out more. Euros are not equal to dollars, not even close.
I just went to Milan and got 65 Euros for $100...

Not quite - current exchange (today) is 1,19 USD for 1 euro.
Our VAT is in the price I quoted, at 19,5%, making it a wash, numerically.
No shipping.

$262 = $160 euros and
for that a Veloce hubset, DT dbl butted spokes, Velocity or Mavic
'Sport' rims...like I said before.

So for ONE HUNDRED dollars more, you come up with something OK. And when
you sell it by internet, it turns into "wheels in a box".

Quoted message said:

Better rear hub, by far, probobly
lighter, probably more relaible and easier to fix, like I said before.

As you have said many, many times before.

I'll take the nearly half-price deal. Not your "wheels in a box". Thanks.

Actually, you don't have to log that many miles to break a crank. I
broke some Campys and an Ofmega with fairly low mileage -- and some
Campys with high mileage. Most recently, I was amazed to have broken a
Shimano Ultegra triple with probably less than 10K (although it is hard
to tell because it got switched around to a few different bikes). I was
pretty impressed with the Japanese cranks until then. All you can do
is watch for cracks, and for me, the failures have not been occurring
at the pedal eye, so the Jobst fix (chamfered pedal hole, washers,
etc.) would not have helped.-- Jay Beattie.

Wow. So where did yours fail? I have an Ultegra Triple that will
probably hit 10k in the next year.
