I'm 160 lb (5'11") and just build a set of Kinlin XR-200 rims to American Classic hubs with 28 radially laced Revolution spokes up front, and 28 2x Revolution (NDS) and Competition (DS) spokes in the rear... although I am probably going to rebuild them next week with longer nipples because they have 1-3 threads showing (remember kids, add 1-2mm for spoke length calculations on 28 spoke builds unless radial laced). I'm going to throw them on the scale tomorrow afternoon, but I expect them to come in around 1400g.

You would probably be happy with something similar, probably even 24 spokes up front (I only used 28 because I got a deal on the hub). White Industries and DT hubs are better at little weight penalty, or if your budget is lower, Formula or Novatec have some decent options.
