Personally I would buy new, £250+VAT is pretty good.
That's the muppet who wants £320. I won't be dealing with him again

And in the description it says that the £500 is for one disc bolt

I'm trying to order a new wheel just now but the Italians have just come back from their month long holiday so it could take a while

Luckily there are still a couple of people working at Aprilia during the holidays! That's the new wheel ordered. I'd rather know for sure it is 100% ok. I'd be scared I hit a pot hole or something and it went crunch!

The dent on the back wheel isn't anything to worry about. It's barely noticeable

I think he means instead of painting it.

Wouldn't look right on a Dorsoduro.

Ahh you mean for the back wheel. Gotcha. I'll probably get the balance checked but I think it'll be fine. I've ordered some angled tyre valves so the tyre will be coming off anyway
