That's just the kind of wheel I'd run on a few bikes (I bought its twin from Miamijim to put on my wife's mixte). If I didn't already have more 700C/freehub/126mm wheels than I need, I'd be making an offer.
Despite the narrowness of the rim, it should be a nice and strong wheel for commuting. Don't be afraid to put wider tires than 25mm on it -- people used to put 32mm and bigger on vintage rims like that BITD.
