The bike (in the middle):
The specs:
700c, clincher, 32h, rim brake (naturally), mated to Shimano Sante hubs.
The current choice:
Velocity's Quill rims.
What other rim options are there? I'm open to actual vintage rims, but as a fat old MAMIL with a FUBAR heart valve, I'm hoping for something speedier than the current box-section rims, and something a little more forgiving than the current 36h heavy gauge spokes. The current wheels feel like riding on cinderblocks underwater.
The cranks above have been replaced with a NOS set of Sante cranks, so I'm learning toward getting the rims in white, but am interested in guidance and other options out there.
