Hello, I'm building up a new bike and trying to decide on a wheelset. I'm leaning toward a basic Ultegra/Open Pro setup; what I was wondering is if anyone had any experience getting wheels built locally at a LBS in the Philly area. Thanks.

I can't help out if you are set on local, but I can say I had a great experience with the guys at wheelbuilder.com and would have no qualms recommending them despite not being local.

Again, not local, but Performance bike has them. There is a store in Wayne. If you have it shipped to the store there is no delivery charge.

Wayne moved? It's not in the Philly 'burbs anymore?

Just bustin' your chops. Hell, I'd still consider Paoli a suburb of Philly. And Performance is a great shop. I don't know anything about custom wheels though.

I'd recommend you go see John Brown and High Road Cycles in Wayne. He built me a set of Open Pros with Chris King/PT hubs...and a set w/ Chris King for my wife. He does great work.
