Right... got a conundrum... I've got a pair of silver Hope hubs I want to lace 3x front and rear to some grey Archetypes... all I need is spokes and someone skilled to build them... My local, the Velohouse, charges £70 per pair to build and Sapim Race at £1 per spoke totaling £134...
Alternatively, I've found a pair of used Hope Hoops (black 32h 3x on Stans Alpha 400) for about the same price...
Which would you go for - ready built used Stans or LBS built Archetype?
