Called in at Wills Wheels Stockport for a quote, Just gathering quotes at the moment

I got some Mavic Open Pro rims / 105 hubs / 32 Spokes from Wills Wheels, very happy with them. Light and strong.

I fit into XXL Cycling Shorts (Astana, Evans £20 are the best ones I have found)

I think it was 220 for the wheels, and they did a pair of GatorSkins for £30 on top.

I cant fault the quality of the work. ;)

GB155 - mention "Fossy" to Will if you go back in.

I've got two sets of handbuilts from him......rock solid, and a bike....... The wheels on the 'Wills Wheels Fixed"' have been banged about for 1000 miles now......not a mm out of true.....fantastically tough. My other wheels (same rims) have been tested on cobbled climbs / 1 in 4's - no flex

Fixed wheels - Formula Track hubs, 32 x ACI spokes and Maxic CXP 33's
Best Wheels - Vintage Dura Ace hubs (off some spare wheels I had), 28 x ACI spokes, and again Mavic CXP 33's.........
