You could make it easier to see what you bike you're thinking of putting them on??

A visible pic would be a good start.

the link for the bike is in the 1st tread, but here it is:

My vote is either the Schmolke option or the Eastons as a close second, reasoning:
- I prefer hand build over machine/system wheels every time
- Rarity of the Schmolke
- Aesthetics
- F**k Zipp

I will vote for Zipp 303 NSW; would match the SRAM Red eTap.

I'm going to vote the Venn, mostly because the tech really interests me and I have a set of Venn Alter wheels that I really like. With the Acros hubs these would be a pretty slick wheelset.

I own the Venn 35TCC (built in France by Topwheels) and I love them : they are stiff, better in crosswind than any V-shape rim I owned before, and most of all they look good (I weigh 63kg, hence 35mm, but the 50 look even better)

i'm very inclined to 2 wheelsets, tubular Shimano:

VENN REV 507 TUC 24/28 + Acros Nineteen RD + Sapim CX-Ray - about 1200€, by my counts

Schmolke TLO 45T 24/28 + Acros Nineteen RD + Sapim CX-Ray - about 2000€, by my counts

The Venn will weight about 186g more than the schmolke, but will cost about 800€ more

decisions, decisions!!!!

Ended Ordering this wheels, should be here in the middle of the next month:

Schmolke TLO 45T 24/28 + wheelsmfg Hubs (Alchemy ELF + ORC_UL) + Sapim CX-Ray 2x front and rear.
