I checked my parts catacombs, and found a brand new 650b rear, 130mm spacing, 28 hole Velocity Synergy O.C. rim with eyelets, (silver, made in Aussieland), Tiagra hub, DT straight gauge spokes, perfectly true and round. No skewer, $75 bucks plus actual shipping. It is not a hand built wheel, but I did touch it up and it looks good and strong. For the record, I have another set of 650b velocity 28 holes that I've put through the ringer and they've held up like champs. I'm 175lbs mas o menos, mas during oktoberfest.
