I was going to buy a set of wheels from thebikebiz.com. White Phil hubs to white Deep Vs. Here's a quote from the email they sent me: "Wheel price would be $675 USD, and shipping will be approximately $200 USD". So... $875. Yesterday I received a pair of the exact same wheels from Richard at prowheelbuilder.com. Total cost including shipping: $594.70. That's almost $300 difference for the exact same item. I ordered them Sept 6 and received them September 18, so less than two weeks later. I only had to pay $31 in taxes and no customs. The wheels are fantastic and the price was great. Thanks Richard!

I ordered a set of DT Swiss R460 wheels using my Campagnolo Record Hubs and I couldn't be happier. The wheels arrived quickly, were true and round right out of the box and the ride is amazing. It's transformed how my bike rides-the wheels are stiff and spin up to speed quickly but are comfortable enough to ride all day. Easily the best wheels I've ever owned. Thanks to everyone at PWB!
