Custom built wheel set or Campagnolo Zonda or something else?

Hi Guys,

After reading this tread while considering a new wheel set, I see the Zondas represents very good quality in their price range and looks like a good choice.

However, would you be able to order a custom built set of wheels for very same money (say up to €350 - €400) that are as durable, light and are high quality wheels with good, serviceable hubs, or maybe you could do better? After spending hours researching, I am still not any wiser than before due to lack of experience . Please note that I am not a heavy rider at about 66kg on an average day, so the spoke count can be kept low, so to help with the lower wheel weight.

Just to let you know, my current wheels are Mavic Ksyrium Equipe that I use all the time since I got the bike and have never had any trouble with them. Their mileage is approximately 30k km at this stage and they are still true and running good. They needed just re-touching maybe once, but tiny bit (see my low weight, which may be one of the reasons). So I would like to keep the durability, but also reduce the rotational weight and bring more life onto the bike. How would you spend your money and why?

Any comments are much appreciated.
