Yeah, box section isn't an absolute by any means. I just thought some deep section might look a little out of place on a vintage-ish touring/all-rounder bike. Plus shallow section are easier for me to keep the nipples under control. The 22 mm of the Dyad's that Velocivixen recommended should be as bad as the 28 mm Kinlin XC279 I was working on most recently where the nipples kept falling off my cheap nipple bit and getting lost in the rim.

I also remember hearing some love for a Zac 19 (or something like that once upon a time). Any others?
