Just cross-posting from the wheel discussion thread to give my mate Pete a plug....
I don't know if this is frowned upon, but I'm gonna give my lovely LBS a bit of a plug because he's just gone headlong into a more serious wheel-building business.
So the shop's Rat Race Cycles in Nunhead, but Pete's now calling himself The Wheelist: thewheelist.com/
I've had a few things built up by him - a set of Pacenti SL23s on Spin hubs (the Spin freehub is made of fucking cheese or something, the cassette dug in a lot more than I've seen on any other freehub, but other than that they're good) which are ace, a Velocity A23 built on my old rear RS80 hub, and a cheap but solid single speed rear wheel. All have done many kms and all are still solid and true.
Most of us know handbuilts are great, and a new venture could always do with a bit of help, so check him out if you're in SE15 or near.
PLUG OVER, RETURN TO BUSINESS
