I weigh about 160 lbs/70 kg, and the streets in Toronto aren't exactly the greatest. I've already dented a few rims by accidentally going over some pretty terrible holes.

I'm not looking to build my own as parts around here are generally expensive as redonkeykong. Rims are $80-100, hubs, even average/mid-range ones, are pretty pricey (figure another $100 or so for the hubs), add on the spokes and the time/effort, and I might as well have had them built by someone in a shop, who would build them better and guarantee them to an extent.

So that's one vote against the DA22. I could inquire about better rims. But like I said, $300 was already pricey! Around here a Deep V/Formula build will run you about $400. That's how crazy expensive things are here!
