I'm having my fave 23mm H Plus Son Archetype rims in Silver: http://dcrwheels.co.uk/products/rims/700c-rims/
... and these Zenith hubs as they look more 'classic! .... http://dcrwheels.co.uk/products/hubs/zenith-eco-hub-2/

H Plus Son also do a classic box section rim which was very tempting if I was making a classic build, but mine will be a buggers-muddle of classic and modern!

I have some H Plus on Novatec hubs which I built for 10 speed, the hubs have been faultless, so I have ordered some small flange Novatec track hubs from China, I am going to build them with with Mavic open pro rims or ones with a similar profile.

I like my freewheel, can coast at 22 mph down hills which is well above my top cadence (17mph is comfortable on the flats..).

I have a fixed/free hub in my Carlton and I must confess I have never, ever swapped the wheel around to ride it freewheel so I guess that was a bit if waste of money buying that hub!
