Handspun Wheels Experience?
Anyone familiar with these wheels? They are apparently a QBP subsidiary and they do Alfine and NuVinci IGH wheels as well as a number of different Shimano dynamo hub wheels. None of the Dynamo wheels are disc brake compatible except the one Alfine dynamo 700C wheel they do. They claim all wheels are hand finished and final trued.
They also do lots of FG and derailleur compatible cassette wheels too.

I was interested in them too, but they insist that you work with the LBS to get a quote. The thought of going down to the LBS, explaining what I wanted, risking something getting screwed up and not talking options (alloy vs brass, 2x versus 3x) directly to the wheelbuilder and waiting for the LBS to call QBP was a show stopper for me.... Id rather work directly with a wheel builder or spec something myself and take the parts into a LBS for build.
