Nice, post pictures and details when you are done with your build!
I ordered my AWOL Comp way back in September, told it would be in in October. Kept getting pushed back month after month. Almost didn't believe the other week when they said the bike was in. LBS gave me a little gifts for my patience.
Sounds like they will be good wheels for your uses. Did you get them from your LBS or online? I have struggled to find a LBS that builds wheels that are not high end racing wheels by me.
