Tell me if I am wrong, but someone is trying to sell 1 year old velocity deep-v's with velocity hubs, and about 2,500 miles for $250, isn't this too much? I can build a new wheel set for about the same price right?

what kind of hubs?

that's very steep. For machine built ones $200 for silver/black and $250 for colors sounds about right, new. More for hand-built.

new velocity's laced to formula hubs are 250 shipped on ebay.

yah - i saw a 1-yr old pair of velocities on NYC craigslist this AM too -- sounds too high.

i got mine for cheaper than that brand new. same setup hand built.

For God's sake people; Velocity's. We aren't talking about multiple velocities.

And we aren't talking about a company name having ownership over something either, Mr. Possessive Noun.

dylandom

ha, i saw that and sent him an email eager to pay a bit more. What is he thinking

supr3me

yeah same ad, the black ones right? what do you think would be a fair price? he was saying he is firm and the 250 is non-negotiables..

chill greglast.... i don't even know what to say to you

where did you get that MPLSdunk ???

My usage is correct. We are talking about a brand name so the apostrophe is appropriate.

Icon of Sin

"Velocity's" = "Velocity is" or "Velocity has."

for a sec. i thought you were right. subsequent google searches show me you're wrong.

apostrophes indicate possession and contraction, even with proper nouns.

it WOULD be acceptable (although still mildly debatable) to say "deep V's" instead of "deep Vs"
