I just built a set like what you're looking for from BikeHubStore.com parts: Kinlin XC279 rims, CX-Ray spokes and whatever hubs Brandon recommended. I weigh 146 and went 20 radial front and 24 2-cross rear. The wheels built up beautifully. I run 23mm Conti 4000 IIs tires. Very nice. $340 for all the parts including skewers. Cool looking, too - black rims, silver spokes and hubs and no logos. They feel fast. You could take the parts to a local wheelbuilder.
