Plus, he'll be done much sooner than the fixedgeargallery garage feature
The one with conversion done in 12 episodes, with one episode per month.
Dunno if the target audience has the required attention span.

I am looking to buy a fixed gear wheelset, specifically, mavic cxp22s laced to formula hubs. I would prefer to get them built locally, by a good wheelbuilder, rather than take my chances with eBay. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should go, and how much they will probably cost?

On a related note: Are Marinoni bikes custom? I always thought they were, but the site seems to suggest that they are not.

Marinoni...used to be all hand attention all the time, but the latter part of the 20th century took care of that. While some customs can still be had, I believe it's mass made now. Not to knock what comes off the line now, but the old stuff was killer. You couldn't throw a rock in MTL in the 80's without knockin' someone off their 'Noni
