The only reason I feel to build up a wheelset is if you A) find a great deal on the components B) want to lace up something that you can't just buy off the shelf or C) you want to build something lightweight without spending the money on a pre-built wheel. . . . At least those are my 3 main reasons.
Great that answers my question. Looks like I'm gonna go for a set off of velomine like Scrod suggested and am looking at cheaper carbon fork options. Now my only question is whether I should compromise on the crankset. The LBS quoted me $120 on an All City crankset.
By the way I called my LBS, 718Cyclery to tell them I was having some second thoughts and they were nothing but awesome. Told me he wouldn't be hurt If I bought all the part I needed online to save money and would be happy to give his opinion on my choices if I sent links. If your in Brooklyn I'd highly suggest these guys.
