Hello OBRA,
I talked with William and I want to apologize for putting this out publicly.
He's legit! Which apparently everyone but me understood. Please don't use
my stupid comments as a reason to not buy his wheelset. He assured me it's
a great wheelset; just needs to sell it now.

I apologize for all the hoopla. Won't happen again.

Brian

Nevermind. Apparently Blackwell Research is out of business.

Er... why so cheap if they are brand new? Should we be suspicious about the
origins of said wheelset?
