**pair of wheels 155 posted to UK address
front wheel only 64 posted to UK address
rear wheel only 110 posted to UK address
69gbp for any s2/s2c hub - any cog size 13- 21 (but no 18t right now )**
that's for direct payment bank transfer , add 4% for paypal
been able to lower postage and thought i'd set some hard prices for some standard 700c wheelsets ( for a pair the RRP. for the ingredients alone would be approx. 165 gbp and then you'd be paying postage costs to get all the bits to you plus have to build them yourself or pay someone to do it for you)
standard 3 cross build with SG stainless spokes and rim tape
any combo of rims and hubs here. please note delivery will be 7 to 14 days after order (the wheels are not ready and waiting but will be built up to your spec. ) black spokes may be an option but i'd have to look into that.
the hubs do direct drive as the lower gear then plus 38% for the higher gear - inquire with me if you're unsure about what gear options or how to calculate.
but for a rough example (actually based on a 27" wheel but it's near enough - might be a couple of % out) if you've got 42t chain ring with 18T on the rear, that's
42/18 = 2.33333
2.33333 x 27 would give you a 63 inch gear (that'd be your lower gear - direct drive)
63 x 1.38 = 87 inches (that'd be your top gear.)
rear hubs:
all 36H and 116 OLD (long axle can easily be made up to 130 or anywhere in between)
choose cog of your choice: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22 (most sizes in both 3/32 and 1/8 )
S2C (with coaster brake) black or silver (please indicate size of chainstay for clip on end of coater arm)
S2 (no coaster brake) silver only

***front hubs: *** 36h sturmey archer bacon slicer large flange , cartridge bearings track hub (just like zentih with no holes in flange really) these come on black or silver
http://www.pearsoncycles.co.uk/store/product/27387/Sturmey-Archer-HBT-Front-Hub/
rims:
exal xr1 in silver (argent) or black

OR
Rigida chrina in polished silver
http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b9s116p66
so i'd need to know what:
1 rear hub (coaster or not)
2 rims
3 size of cog
4 width of cog
5 size chainstay (only needed if you've chose the S2C)
6 any colour options from those given above
