Can't get any better than Peter White for wheels, as I've heard from many sources. My DH has nothing but huge respect for him and says he is wonderful over the phone as well.
I'm awaiting in the mail a nice large Carradice touring saddlebag right now that I purchased from Peter W. It's the Nelson in green canvas with leather straps...sweet!!

I recently went Centaur everything except for the brake levers/shifters, which I went Chorus. Why? Because for 2007, the Centaur shifting for the rear only allows you to "dump" (shift up) two gears at a time (Centaur used to allow you to dump multiple gears at a time...but for some reason they changed it). I like having the ability to go all the way down the cog! Just something to think about!

Mmmmm, Waterford....
(I love my Waterford) I have Campy rims and since Flosshilde is at the shop right now I can't tell you what her hubs are. I have Vittoria Randonneur tires (28's) on her right now, and I really am very happy with these tires. I even got the reflective sidewalls, cuz I ride in the dusk sometimes."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Mmmmm, Wheels...
(I love Waterford too) I have Rolf Elan wheels and hubs on the Mondonico with Record and yes I like the clickability and being able to easily shift to any gear. It also is easy to reach, I have very small hands.Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

I worked with Troy Watson at Ligero Wheelworks in Tennessee for my wheels. http://www.ligerowheels.com I'm not sure what his turnaround time is right now, but it couldn't hurt to call him. I really enjoyed working with him.
My wheels were made with Velocity Aerohead (OC in the rear) rims, White Industries HI hubs and Sapim CX spokes. I rode them for the first time last Sunday and love 'em. They're smooth as silk. Cost was a little under $500, and they weigh a little over 1400 grams. I'm not sure how low you want to go on the spoke count, but one problem you might encounter with Campy is that the lowest (I think) spoke count hub you can get for 2007 is 32. That's one reason that I went with WI.
Congrats on the Waterford. I'm jealous!Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
