My turn to comment on the QC of these rims. And the TL;DR is I’m happy and satisfied.
The external surface is perfect and pristine all the way round as far as I can see and looks magnificent:
It’s a sight to behold and handle as it feels really ridged and nicely balanced / weighted.
The inside of the rim has some - what I will term - standard blemishes or even manufacturing marks, and while they don’t look ideal when compared with the likes of LightBicycle - they do give the feeling of being hand made and finished. Perhaps I am too tolerant but I don’t think they actually impact the design of the rim and are part of the process in making them.
The wheel was built up without issue by Roger so that side of things is fine. There are some strands of fibre in the valve hole so that may need some filing to get a presta tube installed.
Will get some scotch tape on soon and install a TPU tube and King George Ultimate tyre.
(I could use a Vee T-monster tyre for this but that seems a bit silly so taking the greater risk of blow offs with the lightest tyre and tube set up available.)
Wish me luck!
