Trip isn't until next May so I hope that I have some time and the supply chain will straighten itself out.

Factory wheelsets... from the bike manufacturer or somewhere else? I did this when I bought the Litespeed Tuscany road bike. The Real Design wheels were sort of boutique low spoke count and I wasn't impressed. This led to the Phil wheels about 2 years / 10K miles later.
