Yep. Sorry to thread-jack. I kinda figured our needs paralleled so I was tagging along. I think I got all the info I needed. I called two LBS's today and got WILDLY varying price lists. From my Trek dealer, for a simple set of wheels for road use, $75 each. Plus tires, tubes and the cassette for the rear end. The other dealer is a much more hands-on, build it yourself place (I really like these people, wish I'd bought from them originally, but they only carry Giant), said around $350 for the pair, plus the same stuff. But these would be hand made and tuned, plus I can pick and choose all the pieces. That's getting close, tho, to buying either a used roadie or a new lower-end one.

Lots of thinkin' to do. (and my mind keeps going to the Spot Acme with a Patteson.... already found a dealer who will build it... decisions, decisions)
