I'm going to throw a weird one out, but recently looked at these and thought they were pretty nice. What about Rolf Prima Echelons? They are cool looking, IMHO. A bunch of the riders in my area ride them and they all seem to like them. I bought a set of Vigor RSs and find them to be well made and ride really nice. Wider rim and more $ than the Echelons though.
On a Rivendell? Perish the thought. Paired spokes? Not on any bike.
