If these types of wheelsets just aren't readily available, I have been looking at bikeisland's website and might end up buying one of their damaged bikes just for the parts. Any suggestions for possible wheelset sources in the US?
Thank you for your time,

I haven't shopped for that stuff for a long time, but I think these were not terribly hard to find, so maybe it has changed. You can have a wheel custom built. If you don't find a local builder, I could build it for you for $60. You buy the parts and pay for shipping. But a local builder won't charge for shipping.
