I'm building a bike for my missus (she has a horrible Decathlon thing and keeps going glaze eyed when she she's other people's bikes)
I've managed to get a bike (minus wheels) from ebay and sourced a set of hubs from an old Fuji track (I know they're not the best, but they'll be fine to start with...
Any rim recommendations? She's digging deep V's, but the rims alone will be more than I've spent on the whole bike so far - I'm not being tight, just want to make sure that she's really into it before I go mad with parts... She'd like something nice looking, but I don't want it too OTT because it's going to be a daily ride and locked up on Brick Lane.
Who else does coloured rims? Or any suggestions for simple, strong, silver ones... I'll also need to get them built up - is Arup still doing his beer/inexpensive builds?
Thanks
