go to ebay and type "700c coaster" into the search engine turns up several results for wheelsets, colored rims and all.

ok well i was just taking a shot in the dark, thought maybe someone might know of some crazy super deals on them on some super special hidden website or something lol....yah i dunno what i was thinking. but anywho, it seems the cheapest way to go is either:
A) weinmann dp18s
130 plus 30 shipping...
or
B) coasties (https://coasti.es)
140 plus 25 shipping
so 160 for weinmanns, 165 for coasties.
anyone have experience with the coasties? they say "deep V" rims....im assuming velocities, but hey dont necessarily say that. is "deep V" an actual model name from velocity or is that a throw around phrase?
anywho if coasties are velocity, i would prefer paying 5 dollars more for velocity over weinmanns.
but if anyone has any links for weinmann coaster brake wheelsets for cheaper than ive found then please let me know ;p

harris cyclery does a 700 coaster brake with a cr18 rim for $69 and about $20-25 shipping
coasties seems like a pretty good deal
coaster brakes are a lot of fun

If you do buy a coaster wheel, get it home and open it up. Degrease it. The entire thing. Then pack it all back up with extreme pressure bearing grease (grey moly-lithium grease). You'll be happy.

Those velomine wheels have a shimano coaster. They react very well to loose balling. Literally you add a couple extra bearings and chuck the cages. Spins very nicely.

Check the bay area craigslist. There's always a post for deep v coaster brake wheelsets for sale in Oakland. I think it's like 130 if I can remember correctly.
