A SS Question

I'm looking to get myself a new single speed wheelset. I pretty much know what I want. Either Surly or Phil Wood hubs laced to Bontrager Mustang rims. 32 hole, 3 cross, straight 14 ga spokes. I can build the wheels myself, but I'd rather have someone else do it. The last 2 times I built a wheel, I ordered the wrong size spokes, and the wheels just didn't feel right. This is one of those few things I would rather pay someone else to do.

Does anyone know of a mail-order company that does a good job building ss wheelsets? I know Webcyclery will build them. Anyone have an experience with them? Any others?

I only have 1 LBShop. The rest are in St Louis, which I HATE driving to. I would trust the LBS to cut a steerer tube or sell me a helmet, but I would rather them not build my wheels.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Dan
