wheelset suggestions
So I'm in the process of having a bike built by one of my lbs and I was wondering what wheelset i should go with. At the moment I am heavily leaning towards some mavic open pros but I would like to see any suggestions the ss/fg forums have.
Note: I'm not looking to get deep v's

I built Open Pros to a set of WI track hubs and I didn't like the look, although Open Pros are really tried and true. Definitely a benchmark road rim.
My next wheel will be a front velocity Aero; that is a very cool rim.
Check online for some of Mavic's older stuff, like the CXP30 etc. It would certainly be cool to use NOS rims on your wheelset.
