I assume you've seen the offerings from Velo Orange and Rivendell for 650b wheelsets. Three stock choices from those two sources plus custom options. I know you asked about budget. VO sells their 650b rims, if you want to build your own. I have the VO Diagonale/105 wheelset on my Bleriot and it seems pretty nice. I admit that I haven't ridden much on them yet. The thing about buying wheelsets online is the extra shipping charges. If you're on either coast, you could save some with a personal visit to VO (east) or RBW (west). I'm happy to live within easy driving distance of VO. Steve
