I am building up a TRI bike as my second bike, I have basically come to the fact that I can build a new 7005 Aluminum bike with 105 components and aero seatpost and fork for about $350 without wheels, however is there anywhere I can get a cheap set of wheels? Hell even used works but those are even less common than new 650c wheels. The only wheels I've found so far are $200 Alex 300 wheels but I want to see if I have other options. Also, does anyone know how much a Bike shop would charge to build a wheel if I brought in Rims and hubs?

Neil,

Try Chuck's Bikes (http://www.chucksbikes.com). They have a nice Velocity Spartacus wheelset, (650c or 700c) for $185. These might work for you...(no affiliation, just a bargain hunter like you). If you don't mind, what are you using to build your bike (frame manufacturer, model, components)?
