If you plan on really riding the bike enough miles, seriously consider other rim choices other than Fiamme Ergals, even though the seem to be very appropriate......
Unless you like to spend half your time with the bike truing the wheels every few miles.
Ergals perfectly define what "noodle" rims are.......
I suspect Fiamme might have used aluminum alloy
very similar to just what was used on those old poolside folding lounge chairs..... and oh how their spoke holes do scarily pucker up quite a bit with any significant tension on them.......
