A few things

I know you guys love these, So i'll make it quick.

Ive been riding fixed for like 1 year, except on a conversion with janky parts.

I want to buy a kilo tt frame and build it up as a first REAL fixed gear.

First thing:

The parts ive picked: (velocity, MKS, nitto stem and bars, Tange, Soma) have added up to 950 including the frame.
QUESTION: does this seem like too much to spend on components on a $200 frame?

Second part

I've ridden Velocity and Weinmann rims before, heres my thing:
I want plain silver semi-deep rims, Theres a set of formula/velocitys for 260, and a weinmann/formula for
like $100 less. I actually like the look of the Weinmann DP18s better.
Question: Since the only difference in these sets are the rims, are the quality of the velocity rims better then the DP18s enough that it justifies spending an extra 100 bucks? Also, would it be stupid to put a pair of DP18s on a bike i plan to put this much into?


THANKS
