I have wheels built by John, too. They are fabulous -- fast, comfortable, beautiful, and light. My Felt came with Aksium Race wheels. The Aksiums are okay. I use them for winter riding.

As for how quickly I made the decision on the frame, well, there was really no time to waste. With the frame issue on my Felt, and the training I am doing for LOTOJA, I just can't be without a road bike for very long!

I dithered for far, far longer on the Power Tap. John is about to build me another rear wheel with a PT hub. His customer service is excellent and he has gone the extra mile to make sure that I will get the new wheel as quickly as humanly possible.
