Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If you ever have doubts or are uncomfortable with your decision, search "crazing in anodized aluminum" or similar, and you'll find serious literature on the subject. As I posted, it's common and normal on rims because of the nature of the production process, and the flexing that rims get during production, wheel building and use.
