Yellow Rims?
 

Hey everyone, first post here.

I am in the process of building up my Peugeot roadster (not sure what year it is but its Carbolite 103 frame...i could include a pic if someone could tell me what year they think it is cause i've looked all over to no avail) and converting it over to fixed. I've been on a mad wheel search for a while now, but finally found a deal locally. However, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any 700 wheels out there with yellow rims? I found 1 set online of 27" yellow rims, but i'd rather not go with the 27". Mainly only looking for a rear, yellow rim wheel for my fixed conversion.

any sightings or ideas?

thanks

velocity deep v's come in yellow.

velocity makes a yellow deep v. check with your LBS. I doubt you'll be able to find anything made stock with a yellow rim

i think they make aeroheads in yellow too

If I'm not mistaken, that rim is powder coated... and I don't know how well that would hold up long-term.

mmm, yellow.

I've been waiting for that perfect pair of yellow deep-v's myself...

Where'd you find the yellow 27s? I looked and looked, couldn't find any...

but I forgot that they were for a mountain bike...until i actually read the title haha.

got too excited by the yellow!

1337 Ebay h4x!

so i definitely didn't see those when I scanned through ebay...but wow. nice find. i'm gonna have to work out something with the local guy now haha.

how much do you think it would normally cost to build up a wheel from that rim (only need one, mind you) with a standard hub (say, suzue)? The LBS quoted me right at $200 (being parts and labor for a Velocity Razor rim and suzue hub) but it was black :(

50 for the hub, prolly 65 for the rim, 30 for the build, and prolly another 30 in spokes

gaansari cycles in dayton has wheel sets built up with yellow deep v's and miche primato hubs or 300 for the set

I have a set of yellow Deep V's on my bike and they are great. pics are in the photo section.

Pick those up locally? What'd you pay? I may be forced to go with the deep-Vs...

You can get Velocity Deep V's or Aeroheads in Yellow They have a painted finish not anodized.

Iro will build you a wheelset with any color rim Velocity makes.

I got them fully set up with cog, lockring, rimstrips, kevlar tires & tubes for $340.00. just the wheels alone will run you 225.00
I got them at Spokes and strings (nyc bikes) in williamsburg. I know a few people say things about that place but I havnt had a problem yet with them.

wow....great site. that has everything i could want and more!

thanks!

looks like i just might be riding around on my yellow deep Vs sooner than i thought :)

great rims. I had a yellow deep v on the front of my ride until yesterday. .5 mile into my commute, I had a little run in that destroyed it... impact right at the seam which split but held. As a testament to the ruggedness of the deep V, I banged it back into shape, somehow got the tire to seat and rode 25 miles while being hypnotized by its oscillations.
