I am a fan of custom built wheels too. I was going back and forth between a local builder and Joe Young. Joe Young has a reputation of building a quality wheel. You could have a set built with Campy, white, Phill Wood hubs or DT Swiss hubs. DT Swiss makes great hubs but they are a little loud. I have a set of custom wheels with Record hubs that have been bullet proof. They will probably never break. I also have a set of Topolino wheels which are hand built and they are my favorite wheels but are more than $1,000.
Try Joe Young. He can build you a good solid wheel probably in the 1500 gram weight range for probably $700.00. Congrats on the new bike.
