+1. If you get new components, you should know why you wanted to buy them. Could be just aesthetics.

Check out some wheelbuilders' sites. Williams, ROL, and Bicycle Wheel Warehouse will use parts from Asia and their prices might surprise you. Neuvation Wheels - Taiwan - has servicing info on their site. IMO that's a good thing, because it can be a hassle to locate a shop which will/can service cartridge hubs, especially the rear. Psimet has a number of wheel options (he built a Record, CX-Rays, Velocity O/C wheel for me) and very good prices.
