Had mtb wheels off Merlin before and been very happy with build quality and price.
Is there an equivalent shop for hand built road wheels?
Looking at Open Pro/105.
Thanks.
Why not just go to your LBS?
speak to merlin!
Price
Time taken to build
Wilson Cycles in Sheffield do good wheels, i think they post them.
Friend of mine runs a wheelebuilding business, and can do quick turnaround and reasonable prices.
Email me if you want to know more.

Price isn't everything, but moving on.
Just buy a copy of The Comic and look at the ads.
Had a quick look through mag and Dave Hinde looks pretty good so will order from there.

tea, anyone ??
I've had no probs with wheels (or any other orders) from Ribble, although they seem to have a less than perfect rep on the forums

Nnnnnnnoooooooooooo !!
Paul Hewitt is meant to be quite good.
Swinertons have always built mine
Merlin are quite good.
aP...what have you done?!!?
Paul Hewitt every time. Superb wheels.
Ribble are cheap and generally okay, but not in PHs league.
DH have a terrible rep.
watch this space in, shall we say, 10 days time when nothing has arrived. 🙂
Give Harry Rowland a ring. He builds great wheels.
I did suggest going to his LBS, but apparently it's all about price. [shrugs]
Dave Hinde, Are you mad? He'll eat your babies!
Ask merlin, they've started doing some road stuff now. Do CRC do road wheels, I hear good things about their Mtb wheels.
Failing tha have a look at hope hoops, just bought out the road wheel sets and they look nicel.
The man that ourmanoopnarth is referring to would probably be this man:

Currently building my dad a set of touring wheels, will wait and see on quality but I expect them to be lovely.
Paul Hewitt.
Was joking about Dave Hinde 😆
Dave Hinde is now my LBS...
Another vote for Harry Rowland, got his number if you need it.
