those wheels would make jobst brandt shake his head and hand you a formula on the structural integrity of low spoke count wheels. Here in NOLA those wheels would last about one week before an epic pothole ended their life.
That said, i think this is a classy conversion, the silver is a nice touch in a sea of grotesque fixie conversions . Furthermore I applaud your effort share this bike on the more mature and intellectual (and slightly more grouchy) C&V forum vs the lowbrow ss/fixe forum where your bike would go over well and boob references would no doubt be made.

have we all forgot the most important question? how does she ride?
