Been a busy year so I haven't been out here much - we are still around. We build a lot of wheels. Today is our 13th anniversary of the business so I figured I would come out here and find something to post about (I mean our business name is from the handle I use here and most of our early customers were from here) and found this thread. Thanks for the referrals!
I didn't read the whole thread as it's starting to get old and I am sure there have been resolutions at this point. but a couple of quick points - rear wheels cost more than fronts. Hubs for the rear are more complex and carry a lot more cost. Hubs account for the majority of cost in many builds. For the record we do single wheel builds all the time. As custom builders we don't list all of what we build on our site.
Thanks again everyone for all the love over the years! Enjoy the ride!

Just keeping this discussion alive, as I am now in the market.
Am I a dinosaur with rim brakes? Gee, my bike is only 6 or 7 years old!
