Any good bike shop should build or source one for you. If you're hell-bent on buying a complete
wheel, try the Bandits of Bridgewater as a starting point.

I've got a nice pair (!) made by Alex ay John Atkins cycles; 517 rims on DMR hubs - very solid.

Depends on componentry. In my case (approximately, as I'm working from memory)

- Goldtec rear track hub (d/s) - =A365.00
- DT Competition spokes (36x) - =A315.00=20
- Mavic OpenPro black, 36h - =A320.00=20
------
Grand total: =A3100.00

More or less expensive components can be substituted if you feel the ne= ed. If you're not doing
the job yourself, then you've got to factor labour co= sts in as well. There's also the cost of
sprockets/freewheels as appropriate. Rims are a matter of choice, of course. Alternatives in the
hub departm= ent include the Sovos d/s hub sold by the Bandits, or the Miche track hubs. C= heap
fixed hubs generally have the sort of lifespan you'd associate with snowf= lakes in Hell (IME)
