Eggplant (purple) Deep V

Anyone know where to get one? I just need one, or somewhere that will build a rear wheel with one. Can't seem to find the purple anywhere..

Luke @ Bunnyhop said he was having a hard time finding one, which is why I thought I'd try here...

from the looks of the velocity website they don't make aero's in colors anymore except celeste and black.

Any local Velocity dealer should be able to order it. Might take a while though.

I live in Canada and we dont have a single Velocity dealer up here. so I have just ordered a pair of white Deep Vs from Peter White, they were very nice and helpful.

Tried doing it through King Kog (its geographically closer to me) but those people really have no idea how to respond to an email about ordering....well 2 of them.
