Thanks to everyone who's mentioned our rims so far... I'm totally biased, but two others from us worth considering are the NoBS (unfinished, no eyelets) and the Atlas (anodized or polished, + eyelets). It's quickly become one of my favorite rims to build.

Pedaling Nowhere did a nice vintage touring bike build with the polished Atlas:

And Chris Murray (chriskmurray on here) did a really great write up and test of the NoBS:

If you want to go a little lighter, the Synergy or Dyad are also excellent choices, and both are available in silver ano or polished.
