Second, there is a minimum purchase order of 50 pieces (not sure if that's complete sets or not). However, just out of curiousity's sake I asked if I met the 50 piece minimum what the cost would be, and on the 80mm tubular, it was $178 USD.

Not bad at all. Now I just wish they had a distributor (which they don't - I asked that too).

Take what Real Design mentioned and run with it. For many of these resellers, the MOQ can be overcome by indicating that 'your' company will first need to arrange for the purchase of some sample pieces for testing wheel builds with the hubs you plan to use.

Subject: Re: BWR-131 (80mm Tubular)

I'm convinced you do not understand my situation. I am ONLY interested in buying two rims for my personal bicycle. I would NOT be interested in buying 50. 

If there is a way for me to place an order for just 2 BWR-131 at $178 + shipping then please let me know. Otherwise, I would have to look elsewhere. 

For reference, my address is ::

Man you were rude in that e-mail thread. It is similar to when travelling abroad seeing loud Americans ask for something in English then get annoyed when they aren't understood. Their usual response is to say the original request louder and slower.
