No commercial interest here, but I have bought a few items from the vendor. They seem excellent.

Dunno which is a worse sin in the Campy community, though - modifying a Campy part, or using a Shimano part in a repair. (smile)

Please disregard the strikethru part - I was thinking this was for your CIOCC build, but I see now it's for a different one entirely.
Wheels Mfg sells 137mm 10x1mm QR axles, too. But I've also cut down a few longer axles -- the advice to thread on a nut *before* you cut so that it will clean the threads afterward is well worth doing.
