CA_IN_NC, I was wondering, did the seller tell you who built the rims? Great bike. You're inspiring everyone!
There are actually more ladies on TE who ride them - who haven't chimed in here. Knottedyet is one...

The seller built the wheels himself (and now that's a large part of his business since he owns his own shop). Here's his still under construction website: http://longleafbicycles.com/ I've also had a second front wheel built my by my local shop - it came with a generator hub, and - though I adore it - I wanted a second wheel for long rides. Generator hubs don't have much drag, but some. And this isn't the super expensive Schmidt with really low drag.
