try Urbanknight on this forum. He's in Pasadena. Built some Tandem wheels for me that seem to be great. Very easy to work with, very reasonable.

I check out wheelbuilder.com website and they are pricey.
Al, Urbanknight took care of truing & tensioning my commuter set, just waiting on my other set to get out of truing so i can have him truing & tension them properly
Thanks
