The Deep V I built a few months ago is holding up without issue. Despite the fact that it has been dealt a few blows.

But, the exciting news is that I've finally recieved all the parts and assembled my new DT Swiss 585's to some Ultegra hubs with DT Champion spokes.

The build went easy enough. But, I'm somewhat disappointed. After hearing repeated sources comment on how round and true the DT rims are out of the box, the rim that went into the back had a flat spot (dip) at the weld that is marketedly more noticable than the Deep V's. The front rim is considerably more round. Oh well, they'll ride fine.

I've mounted up my fresh but least favorite 25mm Rubino Pros until I can get a fresh set of better tyres. I'm thinking those will be some Michelin Optimums. A friend's bike that I was working on has them and they looked farily decent.

Thanks Mr. Beanz, et al, for convincing me to start building my own.
