It turns out that Velocity's Aussie website has some items they don't
offer in
the US and damn, these are so shockingly tasteless they're brilliant.

Still no tyres.

Wow, if I could get the rights to import these to Portland, I'd get soo
rich!

It took more looking, those ARE shown on the USA web site. Click through the
menu to colors.

Start selling bro' those are amazing.

I'm surprised to have not seen them yet. They're so horrible it makes me want to
build a bike for them. Almost.

Sorta like the Primal jersey of wheels.

It's gonna get worse before it gets better. Velocity has introduced a
"fixed gear" (i.e. no brake track) rim that's 43mm deep. That's
probably wide enough to do some objectification of women. Wide enough
for AYHSMB that you can read from down the block.

Has anybody else noticed that one person's coaster-brake-only rim is
another person's disc-specific rim is another person's fixed gear
rim?

Marketing.

I've only owned one rim ever with 'cut sides' (Barcelona)
and it's on a drum brake wheel anyway. Most 'features' are
vastly overrated.
