Cheers for sharing your thoughts
I'm certainly not holding it against him, I'm also bad with communication, he really did well by me sorting the frame out and I'm glad of the chance to send some more business his way. Regardless of which other performance/place-holder forks I might end up with I'd probably still get a matching set from him, especially at the price quoted.
Normally I'd build up my own wheels (have done a fair few 32 spokers no probs) but when the spokes are £2-3 a pop and the rim's not exactly readily available I'm not sure I'd trust myself so have to factor the build into the cost as well

Sounds frustrating, but perhaps Jacek is on annual leave, or ill or something else unexpected?
If I were in your shoes I'd hang in there for the forks to match the frame, or if I was in a hurry pretty much any other builder should be able to sort you out.
FWIW wheel-wise, I reckon the true value of most wheels is in the build, so focus on who builds it rather than what it's made of (within reason obviously). Or are you building yourself?
