The simple answer? No one else makes deep rims in this combination of price range and easy availability. I don't see anything anal about wanting a bike you spent a lot of time, thought and money on to look nice. Unless you're going retro or NJS, the Deep Vs are one of the best ways to do this.

I agree. Deep V's look sweet if you're buiding up a nice frame. And they got some crazy colors. I'd do it.

Thing is a blast to ride, thanks to everyone who posts pics here for the inspiration. I don't think I'm every buying a prebuilt bike again.
