The budget permits, it's just a question of whether I want to spend the "political capital" with my wife. The plus side is that she *did* buy the bike for me, and I *am* riding it a lot which is why I'm breaking spokes, so spending some money on it isn't too much of a stretch. Plus my birthday is next month.

Now, if I buy a built-up wheel, I will also need a track cog and lock ring... What do you recommend there? And how much money are we talking about for that?
