Surly front hub/mavic a719

t.o.

I have a surly flip-flop and an a719 on the rear, and now need to replace my front wheel. preferably to match, but I can't find the surly hub for less than £50, or the rim for less than £30 (it's black).

couple of questions:
why is the surly hub so expensive? I could get ultegra or veloce for half the price, or something else for the same.... can anyone suggest anything similar (looks/function) but not as expensive?

i've tried wiggle/evans/chainreaction/sjs/various places via google, but does anyone have other suggestions for a shop likely to sell the rim? ie a touring type shop?

thanks.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
