88mm deep rear and some sort of tri/4spoke up front would be the most practical I think?

I think box sections personally, always looked class with drops and levers

I've always loved this with [EDIT] Open pro's:
But also kinda like this:
Hmmm. Decisions.

Sounds like two wheelsets is your only answer.
Such a fine frame! If I had to choose, it'd be a lower profile rim, maybe.

Carbon rear, carbon and alloy front is an option for deep rims.

Purple with orange?

As a fellow Samson owner... this looks rad.

34mm deep 23mm wide chinacrabon.

Carbon would look sweet

Now I thought that too, but its a pretty dark anodised purple and I thought I could get away with this! Think its a NAHBS wankery ltd edition colour.

What do you have? Thought it was a Vivalo?
34mm deep 23mm wide chinacrabon.
23mm yes definitely. 34mm? Hmmm let's have a look.

This is an old, old photo of mine.
It looks pretty much exactly the same still.

Why isn't this together yet Matt? Chop chop!

Awesome frame, I'd have kept the original forks on though either drilled or with a clamp on brake. Obvious obvious comment but still. Also, 30-40 mm carbon rims or >>>>>>>>>>>>

Black Omega V's or Mavic CD4s mate, will look da tits. Carbon is so last month.

This is not such a bad idea. I've decided that I'm probably going to try this with a carbon setup. I'm going to keep the Paul Hubs (I think) and may lace these to TB14's or even Open Pro's come winter-time.

I know! I know, life's getting in the way! ha! You are to blame for the carbon love!

Possibly, I've still got the original forks so if it all looks gash or the rake is completely out I can put the originals back on. I'm not precious about drilling the forks but don't have access to a pillar drill. It's one thing deciding to drill your forks but another to completely FUBAR it.
Would require a new Headset and stem though, more Ca$h Monies!

I'll just leave that there if anyone disagrees.

That condor is so good, 50mm crabon is definitely the way to go. TM's condor and drys langdale are also great examples.

I love that this isn't samey samey NJS/HHSB type build.
Well exciting to see something different. -

If you buy carbon rims only, pleeeease lace them to silver hubs with silver spokes, looks infinitely better imo. Either way this looks set to be a lovely build.

Suzue Pro Max or GTFO

Miss them wheels. Well I don't they were inconvenient as fuck but they were nice to look at.

Agree with JB, trying to lock around 50mm rims is tedious.
Swapping wheels is also not ideal. This is why i've ended up with 2 bikes again.
If I was you I'd go for TB14's now for everyday use and then maybe sort out some crabons for slaving about.
could look pretty friggen schweet
