Yes when I was debating whether to buy PW hubs I balked at the price for PW rear cassette hubs. Mark Abele at Riv suggested the WI MI15hubs and Rich built my 650B wheels for $870.00 which I think is really reasonable for hand-built high quality wheels. As others have noted, too, they are lovely hubs
