Yep, When he was just a little tyke, he complained of back and hip pain and he always walked stilted and stiff-like. He complained of pain for a long time but it took till 2-3 years ago for the docs to figure it out. It’s seemed to progress fairly rapidly. Very sad.

Thanks, WhyFi. That’s just the kind of info I’m looking for. I actually don’t want anything deep, since this is a slow bike and I hate getting blown around in crosswinds.
Addendum: The Ardennes SL looks like a nice set of wheels and I could pay tribute to the Greatest Generation every time I got on the bike!

There are a few variations of Ardennes wheelsets that can be had for under $1k. In aluminum, I think they set the standard.
In carbon, you can order direct from someplace like Light Bicycles and get a moderate depth (~40-60mm) and reasonably light wheelset for well under $1k, but you will have to wait a few weeks. Otherwise, you'll have to look for deals on wheelsets from better-known manufacturers (Reynolds, Fulcrum/Campy, etc), particularly from UK sites, but sometimes from others like Competitive.

Thanks, guys!
Naive question: I assume the difference between 12 and 15 mm on the front axle is about more than knocking out or not using a couple of shims, correct? My fork is 15.

Usually the wheels will come with different end caps (12mm, 15mm, QR) for the hub, although they sometimes need to be purchased separately.

Anyone see the record-setting performance on "Jeopardy!" last night? Dude won $110K in one game, shattering the old record of $77K. I missed it, but I did see him a couple of days ago. He's incredibly fast with the signaling button and extremely knowledgeable. He is also calm and collected. Could be around for a long time. He's a professional sports bettor, so it's not as if he has a day job he needs to get back to.
