They actually make a $15 frame look nice.

How about spending money on a decent frame instead of super high end hubs?

) the frame doesn't matter THAT much...all that aside, i'm not a fan of the phil pink/velocity pink combo myself, but that doesn't affect how they roll.

is it weird that the first thing I noticed was the purple rain stupor bowl 9 spoke card? Agree that the hub / rim combo is not close enough, but still hot none the less, I have that set up in all black and it is one da*n fine set of wheels

OK dudes. Here's the justification. My first priority is to drop the $$ into the moving parts. (This bike will have a phil BB in a couple of days). I'd much rather have high end wheels and BB on a **** frame than the other way around.
As far as the frame, I'm moving to Japan in a few months. Rather than taking an entire bike, I'll just take the wheels and BB and buy a frame and the rest of the stuff once I'm there. So many options for so much cheaper!
I'm a bit worried about sizing, but with 120mm hubs and 113BB, these are hopefully somewhat standard? Maybe? If not, I guess I'll just toss the wheels and BB in the trash.
Toestraps? What are those?
Children? What are those?
Red - Magenta - Pink makes a nice progression. I was pleasantly suprised how well they work. (Maybe the photo doesn't do justice)

I worry to some extent, but it's covered under renters insurance.

i like the wheels - pink & pink looks good.
you're smart on upgrading the wheels first.

hey, just a thought..the phil bb is really amazing, but alot of the time when you get a frame there is a bb in it (and in japan a high quality one)......maybe get crank arms first? if you get the phil bb get a 108mm, it works better with track crank arms that you will probably one day have (they should probably be bought at the same time)
