Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - need rims: NON-MACHINED + NON-Deep-V ~ What Are My Options?

What are my options for good rims?

I have a set of Campy C-Record hubs and I want to build up a clincher wheelset for my Cinelli. The rims have to be not machined for brakes and not Deep-V's.

What are my options?

I think you are limited to NOS here. Check this:

Probably machined, but worth considering, Ambrosios. There is a pair on Ebay presently as well. I dont know what model, but I saw a really nice titanium finished pair of Mavics last week, non-machined. The owner told me they are no longer made however. They may have been tubulars though. Also, look for Fiammes

you could look into 700c disc brake rims for cyclocross bikes. or look at anodized al rims - alot of those won't have machined sidewalls and still could come in colors if that's what you were looking for (basicly go to a good bike shop that's got a ton of rims and ask).

OH! also - look at ceramic rims. I've got a pair of Mavic ceramic clinchers (36h touring rims) that rock hard and are super light (and i can bike through all the snow i want with them and they're ceramic)

NOS MA2's.....found a pair on Ebay and built them with Campy NR track hubs.

If you don't mind choosing between black and black, there are lots of inexpensive disk-brake-only 29er rims coming on teh market...

ma2's and ma40's. or Araya rc540.

raygunner.... im also in the market for some non machined no deep v rims.... if you find the secret stash could you let me know.... i wil likewise let you know if i discover any

Mavic still offers the open pro CD. After the sidewalls are machined the rim is hard anodized leaving everything gun-metal grey. Good rim, looks nice, the only downside is that the hard anodizing usually makes rims more likely to crack around the eyelets.

Is there something wrong with them?

I have them on my bike, no complaints here! I think they look pretty good.

they are not polished... therfore no good to me

got a pair of cxp 12's NOS in 28h.
Absntr also runs these with his D'ace's.
They're matte silver, non-machined, semi-aero profile, clincher.

Oi! Found the picture he posted of them!
*Hope you don't mind me using your photo Absntr!*

Velocity Aeros or Velocity Fusions
lower profile on the Aero than the Fusion, and both are lower profile that the Deep V.

Also, if you can score a set of old Campy Lambda/Ypsilon rims (pm me Raygunner - I have a 32h set and I am looking to move them). They are aero style rims, but not as deep as Deep Vs

Alex TD17's? disc specific 700c rims.

I know a guy who rides them. He likes them, but they're WIDE, so not suitable for skinny tires. The Alex DV15 are a box-section (all black), and are narrower, if you can find them - but I think they're machined before anodizing, so if a machined side is going to bug you even if it's black, then no dv15 for you!

Those featherweight, polished, saavedras that dolface and (I think?) Dubteka both have are really nice looking rims.

yup, i have them on the peleton, and i love them. mine are clinchers, dub's are tubs iirc. i haven't seen a set on ebay in a loooong time though.

those are HOT!

look for them on eBay - gotta clean the house just a little bit more

I have those Ypsilons in non-machined hard ano.

They are sweet.

Almost all of Velocity's rims are available non-machined and colored (both anodized and powder coated)... not just the Deep V.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Sun M13II rims. They're double-wall, single-eyelet, sleeved non-machined construction. Nice-looking rims. There's a "satin" finish version, just buffed aluminum, and a highly-polished version. They're on eBay all the time, and QBP has them also. Comparable to the Mavic MA3, but without machined sidewalls, slightly diff construction. Here's an example (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-SUN-M13II-ROAD-BIKE-RIMS-Polished-32hole_W0QQitemZ7211441070QQcategoryZ36144QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on eBay.

I like the Velocity Aeros (http://www.downtube.com/catalog/images/Aero_rim.gif) . I saw a set in black and am tempted to strip the anodizing and polish 'em up.
