If you want deep V rims to suit your vitus, what about hunting down some Mavic CXP 33? (I have some cxp 14, same rim no brake track - didn’t used to matter, you wear your own in, but now everyone expects it)... or Rigida (Ryde) DP18, they seem to still be around.
I have a couple of choice 126mm hubs knocking around if you end up wanting that spacing...

Thanks for that suggestion. I've actually already ordered a pair of XR31t rims from BikeHubStore. I was about to get all FOMO with your CXP33/CXP14 idea, but have convinced myself that XR31t is a good alternative because:
- CXP33/14 are nearly 100g heavier than the XR31t
- neither rim is from the early 80s (actually I'm not sure when the CXP33 appeared...)
- the rims will look the same when de-stickered
To be fair I think this is one of those situations where any choice of silver 30mm would have been totally fine.
I'm also sorted for hubs, thanks, as I bought some DA7400 hubs spaced at 126mm.

This friend I’m visiting in Germany has had a massive wad on for DP18 for as long as I can remember. I had some CXP33’s a while back too I think, and they were pretty tough, never complained.

.... what hubs do you have though, out of interest?
And drilled for how many spokes?

Thanks for that. I think I'd better wait until I receive the frame and measure it.
