First Wheel build

Well they are not C&V and neither is the bike they are on now, but they will be going on a Classic bike when it arrives. Plus this is the only place I really post.

I wanted a 32 spoke 3 cross wheel in silver that was fairly light weight and not too hard on the pockets.

The wheels are Velocity Fusion rims, with Circus Monkey hubs, DT 14/16 spokes front and rear non-drive side and 14/15 rear drive side. The wheels had a couple pings, but nothing loud or serious. Very pleased for my first build, I tested them on a descent, climb, rough brick rode and hit a pothole accidentally. A rough 20 mile test run.
Checked them when I got home and they are still 100% true, only time will tell how well I did though.

They came in at a little over 1600 grams, I hope with the 32 spokes and mid aero profile they will be able to take a beating and last awhile.
