Wheel builder recommendations
Hello all,
It's time for me to get a new set of alloy wheels, for those days when the weather is too crappy for carbon!
I'm a relative newcomer to the world of handbuilts, so would like recommendations for builders in the UK. My budget is £500.

Those already mentioned, plus DCR wheels.

Just Riding Along, Lark for rim brakes or Map for disc brakes. Either one well within your budget.
I've used the predecessor to the Lark, the Jawbone and was very happy with them.
