I'd love to fins someone to build few for me at reasonable price if anyone can recommend them?

I'd also love to build my own to be honest, but yes, agree on @jeff80 that finding the right spokes can be a pain (not my words, but of my LBS owner, when I showed him hubs and rims for him to build me a pair of wheels).

There are tons of YT videos on wheel building, and plenty of free spoke length calculators on-line. Just take an old scrap wheel, strip it and then rebuild it a few times, you'll soon get the idea.

Thanks and yes, one day will do start on this, need to learn. The issue is with spoke lengths as thyere is not much info on 50s or older hubs & rims unless I'm missing something?
