Would love to find one in the great Boston area (or at least New England) - any suggestions?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mike Garcia at

I just ordered a set of wheels from him with the following specs (I'm 6'-4", 185# and race):
- Velocity Aerohead front, Aerohead O/C rear, red powdercoat
- Speedcific Serenity hubset
- 28 Wheelsmith AE15 elliptical spokes 2x front, alu nipples
- 14 Wheelsmith AE15 elliptical spokes 2x non-drive rear, alu nipples
- 14 Sapim CX-Ray elliptical spokes 2x drive rear, brass nipples
Total price comes to $450 shipped and should weigh around 1450 grams, FYI.
