based on 36h and with a bit of digging:
open pro - £25 per rim? = £50
"formula" etc. hubs - pair = let's say £40?
DT champ spokes & nipples = £24?
wheelbuild at Sunday workshop or at a class - £10 in beers?
I'm reckon for £125 you get a very very decent wheelset and have enjoyed yourself too, no monkeying about.
I've just got to tick off the last stage, comin up next week....!:)

At the last weekends Herne Hill jumble you could pick up brand new Open Pros on Miche Primato hubs for £120
Pretty sure it was Mike who organises the Mid Kent one on 14/6/08 and gave me a flyer, phone 07778 205 four oh four. He had a load of good solid new and used parts for fair prices.
I think Teenslain has got a few jumblers coming down Sunday for the track day at Herne Hill

I was looking though cycling weekly and there is a shop in the back selling fixed flipflop wheelsets for £99 new
And I just brought some off ebay yesterday, bugger
Cant recall the name of the shop so you will have to go hunt for it!
