problem is spoke length changes depending on which hub and rim combination you choose. spokes are about 10p each anyway and you can buy them in singles i think. generally the postage is what catches you out, but if you are buying hubs/rims too, then its ok.
he recommended to me the places with the best prices, and gave me a list of hubs and a list or rims to choose from that he has already worked with so will know the spoke length outright. also gave me a complete list of spoke styles that he can do (two cross, triple cross, crows feet etc).
i got open pro rims on suzue pro max hubs. done the best part of 1000 miles on it, and still as true as the day i bought it.
hope that helps
