Interesting rim...

I know there are a few of you who love Deep-Vs. So I was at the shop today and saw these:




The texture was pretty crazy looking. reminded me of drying, bubbly tar. There were only 22 made in this style.

it's called hammerite. Pretty durable stuff.

This is probably a stupid question, but are they all non-machined?

You could achieve this by buying a set of Deep-V's, and hammeriting them. It's not like it's that expensive......

They'd go perfect on one of the Colorado Springs era Yamaguchi frames:

There was a kamikaze frame at freewheel awhile back that had the same paint job. Also theres a few girls in SF who started a girl bike gang called the Deep V's. I laughed.

Obviously most of you weren't alive when Hammertone came around the first time. It's an ugly and nasty and cheap finish and should be officially BANNED along with anything fluro. What's next? Multi-fade fluro with black splatters? 'Smoke' finish? Pluheaze people, have some standards!

That Yama is the stupidest bike I have ever seen. I love it.

every time i see this subject heading, i'm singing this to myself:
La la la la la
Interesting rim
The one that you took
Tell the truth, it really helped you
An interesting rim
The one that you took
God, it really really helped you
You wonder why we're only half-ashamed ?
