The vibration seems to be 2-3 times per wheel revolution, so it is most noticeable at high speed.

Any ideas?
What sort of brake pads? I had a similar problem with Kool-Stop salmon pads which went away when I installed Kool-Stop black pads. After the rim wore in, I put the salmon pads back on and they worked great.
