Deep V Dilemma

Hey. Just a quick straw poll on the competing merits of two options regarding my soon-to-be new wheels. Basically I want lime green Deep Vs to match an old 531 Dawes I've got, but the issue is how to get there.

Option 1: Have my PW rear hub and Miche Primato Front built up with rims from BLB (74 + 62 build in Glasgow)

or option 2: just buy these things off the 'bay at around £155 all told...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=350081971262&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=022

and save the hubs for another wheelset?

If I go for option two I could even sell the hubs making the whole enterprise cheaper still. This is the first Phil I've ever had though, and I suspect that had I been out on it I would never want to be without it.

What really want to know is: how shit are these e-bay hubs? Anyone got any experience of them?

Cheers (especially to the good people who run this marvellous site).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
