oh man, that reminds me - waaay bitd (when 26" rim options were somewhat limited), inspired by bontrager, i cut down & pinned a (relatively) light road rim. brute forced it into (approximate) shape & managed to build it into reasonable roundness. the joint wasn't as tight as it could be, so braking was impacted, but was a fun project / proof of concept.
