Girlfriend has ordered a Genesis Equilibrium frame and we're putting Campag Veloce components on it.
As it's quite a retro looking frame she doesn't want the wheels to look too modern, any recommendations?

Yeah, just read some reviews after posting that.

Also, just checked out a LBS website and they build wheels, might pop in after work and see what they can do.
