Yeah, currently thinking Hope Fortus Wheelset, Hope Evo Cranks that are spare, Hope Trial Zone Brakes.

Amazing! I owned one, built with modern parts: 100mm high rise bar, 70x25 stem, hope pro 4, shimano cranks. It was a beast in manual! Easy to throw due to the short top tube but easy to stay in manual due to the long chainstays. I really enjoyed riding it, even if the top tube was really short (pure trials moves were more difficult).  

Centerlock is superior from an engineering point of view (the rotor does not twist due to misalignment, it is even safer cause the rotor cannot leave its interface - there is no enough place) but it requires a really good execution, which is sadly often not the case. I had some issues with centerlock, like the spline interface of a DT Swiss hub was too wide and it was almost impossible to fit a Shimano rotor on it. I had also the opposite, the Shimano rotor was really loose on a centerlock hub. And in trials, the rotor came loose regularly. I have to admit I had also some issues with 6 bolts, like bolts getting loose suddentdly after riding the megavalanche track in La Réunion: I rode these wheels and rotors many months without issue but somehow they came loose on that day. I also stripped the head of a bolt, the quality of this specific bolt being really low.
