Looks ain't everything.
Go with quality first.

Quality wheels aren't an option at this time as I'm skint after buying the frame and group, decent wheels won't be on it until the summer. I just want some to knock about on for abit

Still Mavic Aksium S wheels & tyres.
Use 'em until you can afford better then put them aside as a spare/winter/training set.
If you then decide to sell them at least you will get something back (same with the Shimano RS30's).
The re-sale value on quite unknown Carbotech brand might be a lot less, nullifying any savings.

http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/ro...-30mm-bladed-clincher-wheels-pair/shimwhfr204 gone with these for a few months, they will do me for training and everyday riding until my racing and triathlon in July 85 for 30mm wheels... Can't go wrong if I'm honest even though they are 2kg

Fulcrum racing 5's would have been a good shout, got a set of them on the Tarmac for now, loving them. Although my Chinese Carbons have now turned up so time to give them a try!

Where are the best prices currently on Venge framesets @jack smith ??
Won't be doing one any time soon - I don't think it is in my £ ball park at all.

Specialized pretty much control the pricing. The best pricing is on old colour schemes which they want to get rid off.
S-Works Framesets are £2600 and S-Works signature editions and team edition framesets are £2800.

I really wanted a S-Works Tarmac frame set the other week in the Birmingham concept store, I'm sure it was £2000.

It was probably a depreciated colour scheme which they want to shift at that price. There are some frames in old Saxo colours which are cheaper than that.

Had a look at standard Venge 2013 bikes & even they are way to pricey for me so that's that for a Venge.
Will go back to other ideas I think.
