I'm in Edmonton...

I saw a pair come into the shop the other day and although they aren't my thing, they looked decent and had hollow axles.

A pair of good hand built wheels is going to start at around $275.00 and go up depending on the components that go in the wheel... my rather economical rear wheel on my expedition bike would have cost about $180.00 if I had not built it myself and even then the parts cost (if you actually paid retail) was $140.00 including two inexpensive cogs.

$280.00 is not a bad price at all and I am seeing that our stronger dollar is finally having a positive effect on our parts prices.
