I have a Marin East Peak 2008 bargain sat waiting for me, which I'll collect when I've decided which wheels, in white, I'll upgrade to. Can anybody recommend anything better than Hope Hoops Pro2 with DTSwiss 4.2 rims (White) or Syncros AM wheelset (FL set discontinued). Thanks.
Viz Top Tip:
To preserve that "factory" look of your white bike, don't bother with time-consuming scrubbing after every ride, simply jetwash with Tippex.
Oh, and make sure you post some photos on here when it's built, it sounds naff/blingtastic depending on your POV so is sure to generate some healthy debate ๐
not sure why but just dont like white bkes just seems wrong IMHO - I include road bikes as well. Never owned one no idea why I dislike them so much..... I am no bike tart.
Hope Hoops with white Flows?
American Classic MTB wheelset (white)?
Could try the american classic MTV 26 in White?
Halo Hubs, Halo Hoop rims. Get 'em from Charlie The bike Monger.

Thanks for your replies folks. Haven't you heard that white is the new black?! The frame is Gloss Brick (metallic red to you and I) with white/light grey branding...so I'm sure white wheels will look totally cool...just hesitating over the gunsmoke Hope hubs!! I've been getting a bit obsessed checking out weights - is this really so important?...or is it just something to keep our bored friends across the pond amused on all their forums? What's a few grams matter when I'm no Olympic athelete, so I reckon it's going to be style over form. Just got the CycleToWork voucher shinannigans to navigate now!
White Flows with black King hub's are the shizznit*
