Silver, Have you thought about going the handbuilt route? Velocity Deep Vs or Niobium 30s (lighter than Deep Vs), your hub of choice (I like my White Industries HI hubs) and Sapim CX Ray spokes. I'm biased a bit because I have handbuilts and really like them. I got a lot of bang for my buck. They don't have a lot of bling, but that wasn't an issue for me.
