I'm about to receive a nice chunk of change thanks to tax returns and am thinking of ordering a wheel set from prowheelbuilder.com. I believe it will still be cheaper for me compared to ordering the parts and having someone build them for me.
Thinking of DT Swiss RR 1.1 or 1.2 rims (I weight in at about 13 st, if that makes any difference) and DT Swiss spokes, but other than that, no idea. Haven't even bought the BB for my Principia yet, so I guess I am quite free to choose whatever hubs I like. Still, something that wouldn't force me to have an exotic chainline would be much appreciated. I believe that rules out at least Paul's.
Your thoughts and demoralizing advice are much appreciated.
