I would not have let a front wheel replacement bother me, I've bought several bikes with that situation - as long as the quality and weight/construction is comparable then it should be fine. Even mismatched tires are ok, as long as they are both similar and in good condition. Wait till one wears down, then replace them both.

each of my three keepers have been wrecked multiple times. one of them had to have its steerer straightened. none of them wear their original wheelsets (or tires). they're still pristine, and i wouldn't sell any of them for less than $1k.

Anyone know the geometry of this bike?
Looks like a steeper seat angle for triathlon?
