That said I agree with the idea of building a WW front wheel now, using a cheapish sensible rear, and then work on the hub while you ride.
I'd go with a cheap,28h or 32h PX pista, novatec, etc to a sensible clincher. Or you could get a 24h PX pista hub ( in stock ) and a +40mm rim... IRD do one that's 45mm iirc that only weighs a little over a standard open pro. I think wheelsmith(?) would have to build it as I think they are the only uk distributor.
