I am sort of looking at building a wheel with dynamo hub to prepare for winter commuting needs.
Cheers,

I have got hold of Ian and will get him to build the wheel once all the parts arrive.

He will probably want you to be there while he builds the wheel, and if that's the case be prepared for an 'experience'. He's suffers from OCD, but a lovely guy... I highly recommend him. But make sure you don't have any time commitments when you go there, you might be there for hours.

Yeah, definitely one of the cycling world's eccentrics, but he knows his way around a bike. The 'drop off and come back get the bike later' experience is not Ian's forte.
