OK, first question: What wheels are they recommending? Personally, I'd recommend Velocity Deep V, in a 32 or 36 spoke configuration. 220 pounds isn't that heavy as Clyde's go, but with the Deep V, you'll get a wheel with decades of service life, so it's a good deal over time, and as you upgrade frames later, the wheels can move to the new frame, as well. Most you'd have to do is change out the cassette for the new gear setup if you opt for more gears in the newer setup.

I run Deep V's on my Alllez, with 36 spokes, and they are pretty much bulletproof. You can order them in sets here for less than $200.00. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Velocity+Deep+V
