Well, if you have the time, buy "The Bicycle Wheel" by Jobst Brandt
and do it yourself.
See http://www.avocet.com/wheelbook/wheelbook.html
It'll take you a while to get your first wheel done right but after
that, it's a snap. You will need a truing stand and a dishing tool.
Save some money and don't bother with the fancy Park "self centering"
truing stand. Use 14-15 guage double-butted spokes.
I've never had trouble with the wheels that I have built (except one
with some useless and expensive bladed spokes - grumble).
