At 180 lbs (as the OP has said) I think this would be a good choice. I would further recommend Ultegra hubs and DT Swiss Competition spokes (2.0 - 1.8 - 2.0 double butted) is a 3-cross pattern. The Velocity Deep V rims are also strong.
Kevlar reinforced tires would add puncture protection but the extra weight at the outer radius would also reduce acceleration.
