Looking for a wheelset builder...

Already checked with Scrod \ Angie and got a reply back that non of their suppliers stock gold hubs. Criteria for my wheelset is below. My main concern is that all the gold parts match.

Looking for someone to build me a wheelset.

Parts \ colors:
Gold hubs
Silver spokes
Gold nipples
Velocity Fusion Bright Gold rim (MSW)

Similar to the link below. Same lacing as the example provided.

Ask them about spokes. They can build them for you too.

I usually don't like gold/black schemes, but for whatever reason, it works really well on your bike.

That's not my bike. Came across it on bricklanebikes. I want mine to be similar but instead of black spokes I want silver.
