Not that I'm going to, but, what would be the least amount of spokes I could use? And would doing a radial lacing up front be bad? I kinda like the look of 0-cross but, I know it has serious downfalls if you ride on anything other than smooth ground and doesn't hold a true as well as even a 1-cross.
I'm gonna keep it symmetrically laced (front and back, not DS and NDS, although, that would be symetrical too...) and probably to Dura-Ace hubs since I'm building it up with Dura-Ace 7700.
Thanks for the answers so far guys. I'd go with Deep-V's except that I can't stand the look of them. I like deep-section rims, but, only when they're actually needed for aerodynamics. I'm also trying to keep the bike at the weight it was when it was built, if not lighter, at 22lbs. I'm no weight weenie, but, I'm trying to keep it light-er as this bike should be.
