You know, that's actually something I'm heavily considering. It would be a great learning experience and certainly the most economical.
One question I have though. If I'm going to go to all of the effort and drop $40 or so on spokes, is the hub I have (see top page) even worth a crap? Assuming its in great shape, would you guys (given the option) replace this hub, or is it just as good as any other entry level hub I would buy with a build?
