[RBW] Re: the precarious balance of rim development
Another plus for the H+Son TB14--they come in a silver high polished version which is very classic looking, including no labels whatsoever except for a little bit branding on the counterweight around the valve hole. I built up a pair for my Quickbeam and liked them a lot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85709120@N07/8003630591/in/photostream (they're a bit dirty in this photo) On Wednesday, October 31, 2012 12:48:21 PM UTC-7, stee...@gmail.com wrote: Have a pair of Phil Wood 'Rivy' 36h hubs I intend to build up during the winter months for my Rambouillet, but am undecided on what rims to go with. A while back, Grant posted an insightful piece regarding the precarious balance of rim development (i.e., 'Light, Strong, and Inexpensive: Pick Two'). He then mentioned rolling out a new ‘Stouty’ rim of which I've been pestering Rick for an ETA for nearly a year now, but he confessed they were waiting as well. Complete speculation on my part, but I presume the delay may have something to do with Velocity moving it's production from Australia to Florida. Given this, I may just go ahead and choose from the current offering of rims (such as the ones below), but wanted to first touch base with this group to gather firsthand builder/rider experiences or possibly learn of other options. I'm also curious of any considerations pertaining to tire mounting/seating issues.

Re: [RBW] Re: How many Rivendell bicycles have you owned?
Hubby has a Hunq. I have a Betty, Quickbeam and RB-1... And am being tempted by the 50.6 pink custom, 50 homer and 48 bomb.
