R&A? Yeah, they have a lot of stuff, but they're not my shop. I've only been there a couple of times to pick up a number the day before a race in the series they sponsor (which is nice). Besides, what they had in closeouts were not my size, while the new one is a) made to measure, b) about 250g lighter frame and c) better looking.
Meanwhile, wheels aren't going to be anything too special. I've given up trying to source the PMP hubs I was looking at, and will go with Miche instead (I'm digging the red levers on the skewers - port side of the bike, like the red in the little tri-color label on the seat tube). Minimal profile silver rims like Pacenti PL23 or H+Son TB14. Will splurge on Sapim CX Ray spokes to make up for the heavy hubs
