This Week In Wheels by Justin Spinelli.

Though most of my wheel builds are completely spec'd with parts from Svelte Cycles, I do take special orders from customers who want to use my skills but prefer a rim or hub type I may not currently source. As a bonus this gives me the opportunity to experiment with new materials I may have never used and either further secures my stocking choices, or piques my interest into making a phone call or two to various suppliers.

What follows are some (but not all) wheelsets from last weeks queue. To enjoy the pics to their full, high-res beauty, be sure to scroll over and *CLICK*.
