Custom Wheel Building — $45 & up.   This is one of the Doctor’s favorite operations —  a hub, a rim, a handful of spokes, the focus of the Master and, voila!  A new wheel is born! Bicycle Doctor has the only Phil Wood spoke machine in central Illinois, so we can manufacture the exact length spoke for you on the spot.

Here is the Doc building a wheel.  It may look like he’s talking, but really he is holding his mouth just right so the wheel will turn out perfect!
