Just a quick down and dirty. Looks like the rear hub is about 225. New rim is 299. Plus spokes, 70. Plus bearings, 50. Or having Woody's Wheel Works lace on a new rim of your choice instead is another "X" hundred. 700 there-a-bouts. Yikes! Don't know how practical that's going to be Alan. Several years down the road, sure. Model year 2 = Ouch!
