HED Bastogne & Kermesse and also the 1st gen Ardennes - but that was just a hair pricey for me, at that time...
The Kermesse was the mid weight and the 1st gen Bastogne was for Clydes or rough, heavy, Belgian Block type riding.
Think they were introduced mid-00s ??? there abouts...

EDIT: Still riding my Kermesse from '09 - daily rider. a solid wheelset, which rolls like the day I bought them... Broke one spoke back about 8 yrs ago, when a stick kicked up into the rear wheel, on a group ride... was a butt clincher moment, but all survived, and I rode the wheel 5 miles home..
Best Wheel money I've spent, that and the 2 pr of Ardennes I bought since.
