Also any idea on prices per hour for build?

Thanks

Two come to mind -- Matt Moore at Cyclelife in Georgetown has built me two sets, and has done a really nice job. I had a set made some time ago by Bill Mould at Spokes in Alexandria. Bill tends to make wheels to be bombproof, Matt was a little more focused on feel.

Been a while since I looked at price. I think both are in the $80 per wheel range.
