My old Veloce-to-Evolution wheelset made me giggle. Affordable excellence with traces of Ambrosio Nemesis Paris-Roubaix DNA running through it.

I might be in the market for that hub as well, if I can find a CX disc frame that meets my needs and budget.

Durability of those hubs is unknown, but by all reports Brandon (bikehubstore) stands by his products.

in the year 2012, if you were building a 32-spoke training/daily ride purpose wheelset to strike a balance between strength and economy, what parts would you use?

I am looking to get something built up, right around 1800g for the set, 32 spoke front and rear, with good quality road hubs that use some commonly available cartridge bearings. semi aero profile. no deep aero and no box section rims. ideas?
Ultegra hubs 14-15 butted DT's, aluminum nipples and Stan's rims with Tubeless Hutchinsons.

51-52cm top tube, sub-1400 grams, frame only, budget ~$300 (used). Salsa Las Cruces is my ideal frame but has long been out of production and rare to find used in my size.
