I respectfully disagree! Building a wheel is not really hard, sure there are a few things to know (nothing that isn't in a book or online) but a 28-32-36 spoke wheel can be quite forgiving. As long as you have a decent amount of tension you'll be fine. You should give it a try it's fun. But certainly a pro-built wheel is likely to be better.
Anyway trueno that rim is toast! Garbage please.
And awesome bike krusty.
