US site seems to make more available configs for Campy freehubs, but none of the 25mm width wheelsets are available in the US
You're right -- I did ask them about DT 350s with the Campy driver, and it was just too far outta my budget (another $100 just for the Campy driver); I was really trying to stay away from the $1k mark (I got out the door for $632 shipped and talked them into brake pads for free). I thought about Bitex, but after a few minutes doing the "Bitex vs Novatec" shuffle on the Google, I think the Novatecs will be just fine. I have a winter/bad weather bike, so these wheels will see 90%+ dry conditions (except for the odd Colorado afternoon thunderstorm). I think I'm all set
I was surprised the US warehouse doesn't stock any Campy builds, but oh well. Now I'm just waiting on the Amazon for some odds and ends, and the birthday build is ON!
