Thank you so much for all of the help and advice! I've realized that realistically this build that I want to accomplish is going to be more of a classic track style build that will see most of its use on the street (with brakes and a separate clincher wheelset for just the street) but can still be used on the track after I've taken all my classes. After reading all of the replies I will now be combing through craigslist and talking to whoever I meet at the track for used parts and have another budget for all the track fees to find out which components I want before I spend any money on the actual bike. I've seen a lot of talk about Hoshi spokes, are thein are blade njs spokes worth it and would a 20-24 hole wheel build be strong enough or should I go with a higher spoke count? I apologize for my absence and delayed response, once again thank you for all the advice!
