eBay and Craigslist finds

Yeah - building up a little stockpile now. Means I'll need to choose hub/rim combinations carefully though ...

As for Open Pros, the only place I can see them under thirty quid is Ribble, as long as you buy two (or at least spend more than £50 in the transaction). No stock though. Thinking about Rigida Chrinas instead - very similar cross-section and a lot cheaper

i'm not sure it is related but i spoke to a cycle shop today about wheel builds and they basically told me that Mavic are starting to insist on a sole uk distributer and only supplying to the big bike shops, doesn't sound too promising for stock levels in general if you are looking for a good price.
