if you can source the materials cheaper, you can build them yourself. the DT Swiss TRC 1400 track wheelset for example are about 1560 € at bike24, but the DT Swiss track hubs can be found relatively cheap. maybe ask in the orient express thread for some rated rims

Ok, thanks. I'll check out what are recommended rims over in the orient express thread. DT Swiss hubs sound nice, but isn't there a decent forum recommended version like Novatecs or something?

Those TRC 1400 are amazing (I have a set) but the specific aero 240 hubs you get with them aren't available separately.
@timages Halo are probably the recommended good-but-not-bling fixed hubs and then take your pick of LightBicycle or Farsports rims. Another option is Arkane Wheel Works who would build you something perfect for your needs cheaper than DT Swiss/Corima etc but much less hassle than sourcing your own components.

Question for any experienced wheel-builder out there.
I am looking into getting a carbon tubular track wheelset. Would it be cost-effective to build my own (say with reputable Chinese rims) or is it cheaper to buy an off the peg set?
