I see your also in the UK,WHAT ARE YOU AFTER ???
I'm always buying online and always use chainreaction cycles,bikedock,merlin cycles and Sprucey's ukbikestore,
never had a problem with any of these companies and delivery is normally no longer than 3 working days.

I've not used Dave Hinde but I have heard its not the most reliable place to deal with.

If there a custom hand built set of wheels in my experiance you can expect to wait up to 14 days depending how busy there wheel builder is,
I always used Merlin cycles for my wheels,you get a really well built wheel cheaper than if you bought all the components separately.

Hi Splodgey,

Type 'Dave Hinde' in the search field on the forum of Singletrack or Bike Magic.....

Has a nasty habit of taking your money and not sending the goods.....
