I've got about an hour of sitting at the truing stand left to go before I'm done with my new wheelset.

-Shimano Ultegra 28h front
-Surly New Track 32h rear
Both are silver, laced 3x w/ silver d/b spokes to silver Velocity Aerohead w/ silver alloy nips. They are pretty light. I can't wait to put them on the bike and go out for a 50 miler.

I'm also planning on getting a White Industries freewheel, as the Shimano freewheel I'm currently using makes clicking noises while pedaling.

fusions laced to hi-flange formulas
32 radial in the front and 32 3x in the back

so far bomb proof for me, I think I could get away with some less solid wheels
I would like to get a much lighter set to try out.

Mavic MA30 wt Campy low flange hub, and a MA-40 with Campy low flange hub. Looking at Ambrosio FCS28 to IRO hubset, but might look at something a bit lighter hoop wise.

dura ace 7710 hubs & mavic open pro CDs with DT swiss comp spokes...

light and durable, but require the occasional overhaul during the rainy season.
