Well, these pictures aren't all that exciting, but whatever. Miche hubs and Ambrosio rims. (Both inexpensive and both shiny silver. :))

Both 32 spoke, 3x rear, 2x front, tied and soldered.

bac: unfortunately that is impossible at this point since the steed is in many pieces.

The Fixer: One word: eBay. Brand new and $59 total with shipping..

165: Woody at Upgrade. He does a little work on the side, so find him at the shop and then discreetly tell him you are interested in his personal services. He charged me $25/wheel to build, $25/wheel to tie/solder, and $44 altogether for the spokes. Was more than I planned on spending but everyone I talk to says he is the best. Plus he knows a few of my messenger friends so I figured its better to support him than some random person or shop..
