That's a good deal on the rim, been needing a new wheel on my tourer for ages so I'm tempted to do the same but shouldn't be spunking the cash. Didn't you buy your spokes there too? They've got a pretty good deal on Sapim Race ones on.

I need 272mm front / 280mm rear spokes.
Sapim Leader Plain Gauge Spokes are £0.19 each so that's £6.08 for 32
Sapim Race are £0.79/£0.69 each so that's £22/£25 per wheel so a bit too rich for my build.In comparison, Araya Stainless Steel Plain Gauge Spokes are only £6.70 for 36 on eBay:

So I am likely to go for these.

I ended up buying 2x Ambrosio Excursion rims on Planet X as they have an additional 25% off on sales items, making the pair of rims only £30 + £3.95 postage.

I now have 1x spare used Mavic Open Pro - in 32h / silver which has been used with a brake so give me a shout if you need it...
