I took a set of Lobdell wooden rims and some pre war track hubs to a bike shop I trust. I told them don't worry about price don't worry about time. It took them 2 and a half months to build them up. My wife kept saying call them up get on them to finish them. I went today to pick them up. They are perfect -- are you ready for what they charged to build two wheels------ $25.00 some times patience is its own reward. Sam D. in Southern CA
