I see a lot of people skipped over your "rim brake" specification. What frame would these wheels be going on, and is the ability to re-use these wheels on some future bike a part of your investment?
All of my current bikes are in the "C&V" (Classic and Vintage) category, and since I don't know what standards will dominate in the next 10-20 years, I figure any guesses at "future-proofing" would have a good chance of being wrong, anyway. So I just build my wheels to the bikes I have.
Are lightness or aerodynamics criteria for this build? I'm always happy to go down that rabbit hole.
