Wanted: 36 hole 700c rim

I want to have a go at building my first wheel, a Sturmey Archer 3 speed to fit on my Giant Bowery. I've wanted to do this for ages, fit an old fashioned three speed hub on a modern road bike, but only now do I feel like I would actually be able to give it a go. As a bonus, the hub I have to build the wheel with was built in July 2000, meaning it has a date stamp on the hub shell saying "00-7". Anyway, I'm looking for a 700c rim to go with it, to fit 700x23 or 25 tyres. Sturmey Archer hubs aren't exactly the highest performance bits of kit, so I'll consider any 36 hole rim provided it's not bent or worn out. Although I wouldn't mind a nice one!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
