WTB: HED C2/Belgium wheelset

[kohlboto]

I'm loving the A23s right now but I wouldn't mind picking up a HED C2/Belgium wheelset. I'm hoping for 32 or 28 holes, Shimano compatible, nothing super hi-zoot. If you are toying with the idea of de-wheeling then drop me a PM.
Cheers

out of curiosity, why bother getting a belgium wheelset if you already have a23s?

lighter, cheaper, not made in taiwan...

Admittedly, I have a bit of a wheel addiction and I'd like to try the HEDs...I get the impression they are a better quality and may ride a bit stiffer than the A23.
Plus, who wouldn't want a new pair of shoes?

no difference in ride quality. slight difference in ease of build.

but when daddy needs new shoes, who are we to question?

Agree, ride quality a wash, ease of build with my limited experience with these HED rims but extensive experience with A23...A23 were easier.

I have been riding factory HED Ardennes, Bastognes and Kermesse, as well as a few pairs of A23s. The only difference that I can tell is that HEDs have flashier decals.
