suddenly, 40 quid a wheel to have them done professionally makes a lot of sense.
Just to make you feel bad, last weekend I stripped an old Cannondale road bike frame (aluminium, an R600 3.0 series for anyone in the know), sanded, etch-primed and painted the fork gloss red, same to the frame except in chalk finish charcoal, then rebuilt it with the parts of another Cannonsnail (2.8 series 650C frame) that had run its course.
First ride last night.
In my defence, all the stuff had been sitting since last November...
