I'm a clydesdale. Right now I'm weighing in at 253.5 lbs. I've got a Trek 1000 which I'm doing some upgrades on because it's fun, I like doing it, and I don't want a different bike -- I want my Trek 1000 with some upgrades.

The whole bike will soon be Tiagra powered, except the cranks, stem, and bars -- those will remain Bontrager. Eventually, I'm going to need to upgrade my wheels, as I've already had to have the stock Alex wheels trued and I can hear problems forming with the rear no-name hub.

I don't want to put $800 wheels on the bike, that's for sure. But I want a good, quality set of wheels, with a brand equivalent (or slightly better) than Tiagra. I want to stay 32 spoke because at my weight I don't feel comfortable on any of the lesser-spoke wheels.

What do you all recommend?

Thanks,
Tim.
