Not to dissuade you (and hopefully my just saying it will make it not so :) ) but i waited months for a SON wheel and edelux, in the 6 months i waited i got a SON wheel (with 1 minute to spare)i paid $275 (decent for sure), and i've seen one edelux go by, and that was only at a $25 discount. these things are in high demand so it's tough going to get them at a big discount.
Someday i'll afford an edelux... On Jun 1, 12:28 am, "Kelly Sleeper" <[email protected]> wrote: > I have to agree with you on the son28 and edelux light.
