1790g
Actually 1800g without rim tape. The R23 just about achieves £1/g for weight weenies by being twice the price but somewhere between 150 and 200g lighter.
not sure 20 / 24 will be ok for 100kg
My old Shimano RS80s are fine, 16/20 thinner spokes than the DTs. I haven't done enough on the R24s to say categorically that they're fine, but they have 4 more spokes each end, which are thicker, so I've had no hesitation in launching off the tarmac with them.
Zondas (1550g) / Shamals (1425g)
Remember, those are on Italian scales, add 5% to convert to SI units :-) Avoid anything with aluminium spokes, they are a terrible idea.

@Chris.
Good price and wide, but 1790g and not sure 20 / 24 will be ok for 100kg. Looking to upgrade the stock Aksium S wheels, which are about that weight. I like the look of the Zondas (1550g) / Shamals (1425g), which are meant to be fine for heavier riders, but considering hand built too. Also not a big WW, but wanted to try and hit 7kg with this new build, and with 6800 rather than Force the weight savings need to come from elsewhere (me included).
