Sounds like a good buy! Do be aware that jamming a 10-speed rear wheel in there requires that the frame be cold set to the correct width and, more importantly, the dropouts need to be realigned. Otherwise, the stress placed on the rear dropout by clamping down on the quick release can eventually crack either the braze between the dropout and chainstay, or the dropout itself. This has happened to me and a number of folks on the forum.
