Yes I am old enough to remember when Freewheel's HQ was at the premises that became Beta Bikes at the top of West End Lane, gone long since of course. (It was next door to my dentist.)
Sorry for my several misunderstandings above. I thought the pricing of the fatter, carbon-fiber GRX wheelset was in the same bracket (£400–600) as the UK artisan builders mentioned, but it's double that.
Still true however that you can order the Shimano product from Bike24 if you are in NI, but not in GB — bonkers.
