I am selling a set of lightly used 2008 Bontrager Race Lite Wheelset for $315. They retail for $530. The wheels have approximately 350 miles on them and are in great shape. I live in close in SE and work downtown. Here is the Bontrager link providing more detail. http://www.bontrager.com/model/07019/en
Email me off list if you are interested.
