i can't speak for the quality of their wheel builds but i've been buying
velocity rims from them (good prices, they're the best mail-order source
for velocity rims in the US, ime) for probably near a year now (that comes
to 3 pair, iirc). nothing but positive to report -- they went the extra
mile to get a shipment expedited for instance.

Hi, I had the same experience, they had one of the only Aerohead OC
700c Electric Red 32 hole in the country. Velocity USA was out of them
and I found one at Spin Lite. Lyle even shipped it directly to Peter.
I have a set of Aerohead/DA wheels, but mine were handbuilt by Peter
at Vecchio's.
Life is Good!

I had Lyle at Spin Lite build up a set of custom cross/all-around
wheels for me:
rims: Velocity Deep-V
spokes: Sapim CX-Ray
hubs: Shimano XT
details: 36h, rear axle cut to 130mm, spoke head washers
Here's my summary of the transaction:
- Email and phone communication were excellent.
- His attention to the details of my build spec was excellent.
- In the 5 months that I've had them, the wheels have been great.
A month ago I had to retighten the cones in the rear hub; other
than that, I have done no maintenance and they remain perfectly
true.
I recommend Spin Lite as a quality wheel vendor.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I guess I will be ordering some
wheels from them shortly.
