Planning a wheel build:
black Velocity A23's - I was tempted by Stans alpha but A23's are £45 cheaper for the set and I have read good reviews of them on here and elsewhere.

or
Uniq/generic far east lightweight hubs (will replace bearings on Dammits advice at build stage)
Spokes? I'd quite like 2 red spokes and nipples in each wheel - the others black and bladed. So prolock hex nipples?
Going for 24/28 as I'm a reasonably big chap
The idea is a fairly lightweight sub £400 wheelset.
