You could make it easier to see what you bike you're thinking of putting them on??
A visible pic would be a good start.

My vote is either the Schmolke option or the Eastons as a close second, reasoning:
- I prefer hand build over machine/system wheels every time
- Rarity of the Schmolke
- Aesthetics
- F**k Zipp

I will vote for Zipp 303 NSW; would match the SRAM Red eTap.

I'm going to vote the Venn, mostly because the tech really interests me and I have a set of Venn Alter wheels that I really like. With the Acros hubs these would be a pretty slick wheelset.

I own the Venn 35TCC (built in France by Topwheels) and I love them : they are stiff, better in crosswind than any V-shape rim I owned before, and most of all they look good (I weigh 63kg, hence 35mm, but the 50 look even better)

i'm very inclined to 2 wheelsets, tubular Shimano:
VENN REV 507 TUC 24/28 + Acros Nineteen RD + Sapim CX-Ray - about 1200€, by my counts
Schmolke TLO 45T 24/28 + Acros Nineteen RD + Sapim CX-Ray - about 2000€, by my counts
The Venn will weight about 186g more than the schmolke, but will cost about 800€ more
decisions, decisions!!!!
