I've built a couple other bikes so I am familiar with building, just lost on the wheelsets at the moment.
Thanks
So did you decide on a wheelset for your AWOL? Did you get the frameset yet?
I got an AWOL and have been considering a different wheel as the stock rims are pretty wide and thought I might want a narrower tire for road touring then they are really intended for.
