Yeah but Gizmond, there are unmachined rims and unmachined rims, if you catch my drift...
I have just built a bike with unmachined skinny rims with two brakes... but they're £18 rims.
I think a really decent rim like that will only be ruined by 'machining' it yourself with your brake blocks. I have done it to some Mavic cxp14s (like I said above) and I am regretting it.
