Yeah I'd go with Shimano hubs personally, but DT would be my second choice.

I'd do 28/28, 14/15 double butted (you could do 14/17 on the front). I'd prefer radial lacing on the front. 2x on back, or a mix of radial and 2x. there's nothing wrong with 3x, but i might rather use that for 32 spoke.

BTW, the DT white hubs and rims are hawt.

i've been playing with custom builds on excel a lot lately..
