I usually get a set of Shimano Tri color hubs from the Bay, order a set of Sun ME14A rims, order some spokes/nipples, then make my own wheels.

https://www.velomine.com/index.php?m...oducts_id=2649 These are cartridge hubs, butted spokes, Archetype rims. Pretty sure the hubs are rebranded Bitex.

ETA- or save up and buy these for $360. https://www.huntbikewheels.cc/produc...-28deep-22wide
They are relatively light, decent spoke count, rebranded novatec hubs(no idea which model), and a modern profile rim.

That said, the wheels you listed are very nice. The hubs are Formula rebranded as Origin8. Very nice.
Agree with everything you say about 105 hubs. Bombproof. Smooth. And cup and cone >> cartridge.
That said... the Archetype wheels you list are a bargain, and great wheels. The hubs are Origin8, which are rebranded Formula hubs. Nice.
