I will take this opportunity to zag and recommend against the TB14s. They look great and are well made but do not belong on a racing bike, even if you’re not going to race it. My experience with them (2 pairs) is they will suck the liveliness out of a good frame. I’ve used my set on a Cinelli Supercorsa, Pinarello Record, and a ‘92 Ciöcc. Each time, first few rides on the frame, I thought (especially with the Supercorsa) “nice but I don’t get all the fuss”, but ride quality skyrocketed on better rims. 8 speed Campy hubs and food quality tires btw. The Cinelli rolls on Campy Omega rims now and the Ciöcc on Open Pros. The TB14s are on my touring bike and city bike now and we’re living happily together like that.
I don’t think you need “full vintage” look with that frame, so shouldn’t feel obliged to pursue the shiny box section look. I’m a fan of the Open Pro. Velocity AC 23 and DT Swiss, I think RR415, are nice lower profile rims that are well regarded.
Thank you for the suggestions... I'll take a look at those rims as well.
