Hi all -
sadly the bike build for my own bike resulted in a bit that was a touch stretched out for me (the one I've built for Mrs R - Inc with a cpl components from this site is perfect) so I've gone 'off the peg' and purchased a Tifosi CK3 Giro 1.1 105 5800 (also gladly and strangely came with Ultegra shifters)!
Haven't ridden it yet as ensuring set up is sound and have swapped stock brakeset for 5800.
Big issue is the wheels - Weinmann Flier SL. Taken them out the box and whilst brand new clearly they're nowhere near true esp front - eBay seller will return £15 to true. Is this normal with cheap, 'assembled' stock wheels and should my pal and I (he has sound bike building skills but is by no means a wheelbuilder) true them up and stick them on for the winter - reviews suggest actually the stock wheels are OK and not too heavy. Also should I immediately change the chainset to 5800 from FSA?
TY
