I have recently decided to have a set of Open pro built, and from whay i've read, having the right person build the wheels in very important.
Can anyone recomend me someone in Qld Australia? Pref on the Gold Coast?

Thanks in advance

there used to be a guy named Bill Kearney around Tweed Heads who owned a bike shop, I think it's still there (directly accross the highway from Tweed City Shopping Centre)- he once built me up a set of Ambrosio rims with Shimano 600 hubs (back in the time when Shimano 600 was hot) - they lasted for years - actually they are still rolling.

He used to race track bikes I think.

Mike's Bikes further north supposed to be pretty good as well.

I'm not to sure about on the Goldie but had a set of wheels built by Tom Wallace cycles in Lutwyche with Velocity Deep V's, Ultegra hubs and bladed spokes. The owner Ben is a quality guy and customer service is very good. These wheels were fantastic and had no problems with them going out of true.
