Just built up a wheelset using Ultegra 6500 hubs 32h (or was it 6600...) and Sun Tour SunXCD Polished Alloy rims. This was for a vintage look for my Cinelli SC.
The rims were half price (£30 each) because of some minor blemish/dent which I was able to sort out easily. They built up very nicely, but not as well as the TB14s. However, they were better than the Orange PBP rims, which seem to be less rigid than the other two. I think if I were paying full dollah, I'd go for the TB14s for a vintage look rather than the SunXCDs.
