I have been wanting a project to build some wheels with H+Son TB-14 rims. Maybe sometime soon.
Yeah, the costs savings of the CR-18 are hard to overcome. On the other hand, they should be good for lots of miles and they're going on a shimano alfine dynamo front hub and (probably because that's what I have laying around even though the spacing is wrong) Ultegra rear hub, so might pair it with something a bit nicer and just pay the extra $60-80.

That's good to know, thanks.
