Are you based in the US? Halo Aerotrack are solid, good value wheels in my opinion. No experience with the set you linked to. What do you intend to use the wheels for? If you are running a brake consider that the Mavics don't have a machined sidewall. That doesn't mean you can't use a brake on them but they might not brake as well as wheels/rims with machined sidewall. They might not look as pretty after some brake use either. For commuting I'd get the aerotracks, for track the Mavics.
Omnium cranks are cheaper if you get them from Germany -
Loving the saddle ;)
I would change the cable routing though. Have a look at

You can skip the stuff relating to gears. Towards the you'll find some example pictures -

I used Kinlin XC279 rims as I didn't like the branding on the H+S. They're as wide as the Archetypes I think and 28mm deep. Only issue is that there doesn't seem to be anyone stocking them in silver so I had to order them from Germany. Can highly recommend them, they're very stiff so you can build a nice low spoke count aero wheel.
There's also the Kinlin xr31 which is even deeper (32mm) but only BHS in the US seems to stock them in silver. -

I think it was the Token website. Afaik there is no difference in taper angle between JIS and ISO, both taper at 2 degrees relative to centreline according to Sheldon. What I meant was that Token/Tifosi ISO BB spindles have a different taper angle (not 2 degrees, I think they mentioned the angle but I cannot remember the exact number). At least that's what I remember from their website. They didn't mention anything about JIS, so I assumed that their JIS spindles had the usual taper angle and therefore seem to work fine
Edit: this is what I was referring to, see last post in this thread by a Token rep. Their ISO spindles are 1.8 degrees, their JIS spindles 2 degrees

I had the same issue with this BB and remember reading on their website (they've since changed it) that they use a slightly different taper angle than ISO as suggested by @mdcc_tester. They didn't mention anything about JIS if I recall correctly so that might explain why tester's JIS spindle is fine
Really nice!
