Anyone knows a good wheelbuilder on the Northshore

I'm looking for someone serious but who would not chargean arm and a leg and would accept to re-build with a used rim and hub.
I rebuilt my wheel myself with a new Hub (Hope Pro II Evo) after breaking two Freehub bodies on my previous hub but I thought smart to keep the spokes and nipples since the dimensions were almost identical. Tensions were pretty good and even and it held for about a year so it was not such a bad job but when I tried to tune it a little lately, I rounded some nipples. I decided to ignore it and this morning I broke a spoke on a jump reception so I have no choice but I feel lazy to do it again.
By the way, How should it cost ?
Regards
Eric

@ Belrose bikes - he has done good work for me in the past, and I'd go to him for build/repair again.

Adrian at Belrose Bicycles make it look easy. He gets plenty of practice from the local downhill boys.
