I'm looking at getting a set of posh hoops built by a master.

Who shall I use? Anywhere in UK is fine :)

Recommendations please! :)
 
Big Al of Wheelcraft
Allister Gow ,Clacan of Campsie [try here http://daniel.prescott.googlepages.com/ ]
Has a coffee grinder ,a huge, ever flowing coffee percolator
And about a million wheels.

Builds wheels like god would :cool:

Sad old vegetarian roadie ;)
His workshop is out in the countryside and usually has about a dozen roadies hanging about drinking coffee
Privately enjoys seriously undercutting the LBS's on everything.
Apparently theres an Oor Willie cartoon strip where oor willie visits big Al

Another Scottish builder is Willie Bain,top class mechanic as used by the majority of Glasgow couriers
I havent had wheels built by Mr B but by all accounts he's a bit obsessive on perfection :cool:
