Certainly not open to only buying new - in fact one reason for the athena set is just how damn ugly everything else new appears to be (or at least - how poorly the carbon look will fit the frame). Pity that Pista isnt right for my barely competent ride skills ;-p
I figure I'm going to do the setup myself. I might then get it checked over by a decent shop before comitting myself to a clowncar long ride with bits falling off ...
Perhaps building my own wheel is a bit too aspirational to start with? ;-p
