that way you have a cheap "fixie for college" and the tarcked out look of veeps like you are going for here.
Still not a very good way to go about it. You'd wind up paying 100 for rims 64 for spokes, if you want double butted, 44.80, if not, plus 80 for the wheel build. You're then paying 230 for a wheel build around a non-special hub. You would be better off buying a new complete wheelset and selling the stock ones.
