And as an aside...
Many here may already have seen that I do not care for the dearly departed Scrodzilla one bit, and ordinarily I would not mention Retrogression other than to say that just about everything they sell can be bought for lower elsewhere if you search - but it seems like you can tolerate all black wheels, so I do think

is a helluva deal for $325 at a claimed 1550g.
Thanks. 1365g for $465 is impressive.
I share some of your views about that site's owner but wish him well and hope he becomes a more peaceful person.
That said, I actually own those exact wheels. They are 1610 grams actual weight - no slouch but not featherweight either. I keep asking myself if I can do better for a bike like the Rodriguez.
