Check the website http://www.velocitywheels.com/default.asp?contentID=580 this is where it started. (No pics but I'm sure you can use your imagination.)

Furthermore here are plenty of other places to shop except Google. Plus how nice is it custom order something from your LBS.

White just like I bought. I'm only posting this for +1.

Get a black one for the back and a celeste for the front. Do fusions, not deep v's. That's what I'd do.

its cool, i mean you didnt specify your level of expertise and/or your coming purchases, so i was just trying to save your life.

that been said, i would def go with something classier than a deep v. its too easy, you know? i dont know if youd be into having two different wheels, but i also agree with whoever said that one celeste deep v and one white/cream to match the base coat possibly with a tire with a celeste stripe on it (for the white/cream wheel), and then some celeste bar tape.

its a beautiful color. and if it wasnt for fear of looking like a bianchi ripoff, i would trim my black kilo with celeste too. i have always had a thing for sea foam green, though. its not for everyone.

ooh that sounds kinda yum toast~

oneangrytoast 04-19-09 12:29 PM

yea, im great at spending other people's money hahaha.

muckymucky 04-19-09 12:34 PM

haha what a gift~

acorn_user 04-19-09 05:53 PM

I'd highly recommend not getting coloured deep v's. They will take away from the classic lines of that machine. Spend the money on Selle San Marco Rolls instead, and make the bike complete. If you really want coloured rims, try and find some FIR SRG 30 rims. The colours those rims were made it were very well done. I have a pair in red, and the red looks better than Velocity red.

oneangrytoast 04-19-09 07:36 PM

in furtherance of my previous post, i would put the celeste deep v in the front with a white tire.

white veep in the rear with a black tire with a celeste strip.

yea, that would be sexy.

i have seen that pic above a ton of times over the last few months, but i just noticed his celeste straps. damn thats gangster as hell.

you think thats a 650 up front or just looks smaller cuz of the angle of the photo?

EDIT: oh, he also has those limited ed. celeste oury grips. i kinda hope your not going with risers or flat bars tho...

goddammit toast~ you make everything so yummy that i wish i had gone with a similar scheme myself =/~

hmmm didnt notice before but that looks way to weird to be a camera angle trick~ they make 650c celeste deep v's right?

oneangrytoast 04-19-09 07:51 PM

hahaha i have an uncanny ability for the precise placement of colors so as to bring your bike to the place where fashion and function become one.

ok, fine, so nothing i said has to do with function, but cmon everyone knows that would be a sexy setup.

pretty sure they offer most, if not all, in 650c as well.

Because DeepVs are heavy, and for the most part tacky. I regret getting DeepV's now that I have my campy wheelset on my road bike.

UCP 04-20-09 10:12 AM

If I were to order a deep V it'd have to be the new reflective ones. That's about it.

skloot 04-20-09 10:54 AM

Lime green in the front, yellow in the back.

And for the love of god don't listen to these clowns and get foot retention or a brake.

ianjk 04-20-09 01:02 PM

Go with the lexan deep-v's, white tires, twisted carbon spokes and vintage campy track hubs with urban camo powdercoat.

why would i not get foot retention? i'm planning on bombing hills with this thing.

skloot 04-20-09 03:59 PM

Clips and straps visually complicate things and take away from your precious zen

fixsterHipster 04-20-09 04:08 PM

yeah. i guess i could agree with you on that one. but at the same time, i'd rather be alive after bombing down a monstrous hill with pretty unnatractive foot retention, than dead after not being able to control the spin of my pedals and rolling straight into traffic. ya know ?

skloot 04-20-09 04:11 PM

Wait, are you not actually a troll?


Whoa

fixsterHipster 04-20-09 04:15 PM

I'm no troll !
