Skagwayroadie,
Thanks for your unbiased posting about the wheelset issue, i'm sure all of your points are well noted by many people, myself included. In my postings i made some of my findings with nearly 20 years of wheelbuilding experience available to people in this forum, and these were from my personal experience with the products i bought or ones from riders that i know personally used, not just purely here say.
If you have read the book by Jobst Brandt about The bicycle Wheel, there are solid reasons stated for and against building certain designs of wheelsets. A lot of the issues dealt with in the book are concerned with reliability and durability over super light weight 'gimmick' wheel designs, and this means that the end result built wheelset is more traditional looking. Unfortunately this also makes the wheels look too normal for a lot of the riders out there that want something looking different.

Its time to ride.
