That thought's been running through my mind too... Had I the time, and were I building a simple and robust wheelset (i.e. lots of spokes, beefy rim, brass nips, fixed rear hub and thus no dish to worry about), I'd do it myself. Trouble is: I lack time; I want/need a light and aero-spoked wheelset, which I'm not going to make my first wheelbuild!
