Sun Mistral M-17L 27" rims?
I'm building a new 27" wheelset (or, rather, I'm buying hubs and rims and having my LBS build them). I got some decent NOS hubs for cheap, and I'm looking for rims, and I see these on eBay right now:

Would these be good, durable commuter rims? I can't find information on them anywhere.
Thanks,
William

Won't you need 2? Looks like the ebay ad is for one only. That being said, it is a good quality rim.

Yes a good rim and my favorite 36-spoke type, too. See if they have two. And I like that Campagnolo front wheel as well they offer.
They do state they have many others they will offer. I'd contact them and see what they can do for you. I'd suggest a build for a cross-4 laced for a bullet-proof and smooth riding commuter.
