Jack, I've bought many pairs of nice clincher wheels from list members or on eBay for $100 a pair, sometimes as low as $50. As a matter of fact I just got a nice pair of C-Record clincher wheels on eBay 15 minutes ago for $81.02. Pick up a pair if you really must have clinchers, but sewups are not as fragile as you may think. Try riding them at least occasionally. ______ I want to add that I've bought very nice sew-up wheelsets at swap meets for embarassing low prices. If you are willing to to put up with the slight hassle with setups, It's wonderful that people will set them so cheaply - because they think they are so fragile.
I bike commute daily on sewups.
