My new bargain wheels

[jasonmccullum]

Got a set of shimano r501 aero wheels for £73 From Ribble

Bargain

what do you think for the money, not the sexiest bike but i love it

Looks good... however.. I think black handlebar tape would look better then the blue.

The 501s must be the bargain wheelset of the moment.

But a Ian says, it would look MUCH better with black bar tape.

In fact, I think EVERY bike looks its best with black bar tape. @ianrauk

Yes and they were even better value a couple of months ago when they were £67

 

[jasonmccullum]

they have the standard R501 for £67 but the aero spoked versions are £73,

i have some black tape to but on but im going to wait until next month when i buy a 5700 105 groupset to put on it

I saw those and was tempted but there not a big leap over thr Mavic CXP-22s rims that came on my bike

Wheels look great but that disc brake on the front looks huge....one could almost mistake it for a watering can.

Blue bar tape looks good, it needs some green though, maybe the saddle?

You have to admit he keeps things clean. You could eat your dinner off that kickstand...
