I finished truing it up this morning. It's truer than the one I just
bought. It's prettier, too, without the ugly rim brake band, and all
spokes are tensioned properly.

Good work! Did you ride it already? It is quite satisfactory to
ride on a wheel you built. :-)
By the way, what is a rim brake band?

Nope, I'm still just admiring it, but now that it's done, I'm noticing

a few scratches on the edge of the rim from many tire changing over
it's 14 year life, 38,000 mile life. I'm going to touch them up and
put a cassette and tire on it sometime this week.
I'm riding today on the wheel I bought to use while I was rebuilding
my old rim. I knew the rebuild would take a while, given that I had to
disassemble the old wheel in order to get the rim's ERD before
ordering the spokes.
