The front hub is better on the Weinmanns(sealed cartridge bearings), and they're better rims than the Alexrims. Additionally, the tires that come on the Alexrims are too big(38C) for your frame/fork so they'd be useless for this build. Is there a particular reason you're set on using a 2-speed hub and just going standard single speed?
I wouldn't say I'm 100% decided on the S2C, but the concept of the kick back 2 speed intrigues me. I only found out about it yesterday while at my LBS, and will definitely want to ride one before buying it. I'm also not dead set on buying a complete wheel. It would be more work, but if I can get better components for a comparable price I can buy the hub and rim separate and put it together.
