The very popular Velocity Synergy rim Polished!  

Size is 700c, 36 hole, symetric

Note that Velocity Synergy rims have deep bead seats which makes tires fit easily but you need to make sure the tire is completely seated.  We often use 2 layers of base tape.  Just pay attention - we've had great luck using these rims.

Despite some alternatives, we feel that the Velocity Synergy rims remains the BEST choice for a wider rim.

The very popular Velocity Synergy rim Polished!  

Size is 700c, 36 hole, OC (offset - for a stronger rear wheel with less dish!)

Note that for offset rims you want to use a smidge less spoke tension we find - too much and you may get cracked eyelets (we suggest around 100kg instead of 110kg).  Even if you do crack eyelets, the rim can still typically be used for many more miles, it is almost never a catostrophic failure with Synergy rims.  With some of 650b ultra light alternatives we're really worried....

A bike restorers delight.  72 new Stella 295mm spokes, chrome plated, with nipples, in double butted 15 gauge.  This is a size that is in range for large flange hubs to 36 hole tubuilar - but purchasers are on their own for determining spoke length, we can't do that for you and unfortunately spokes are one item we can't accept returns on.  The original packaging is not included as we have these spokes moved into bulk storage.  Also, the photo might not be of your particular length or spoke gauge.

Stella spokes were standard equipment on top level Italian bicycles of the late 1960's through mid-to-late 1970's.  They have a star on the head.

Note that the nipples you receive are vintage Italian nipples that fit properly, but our nipple stock includes both Stella and Raedalli nipples.  And of course, all the nipples will be matching.

We sold out on the ones we obtained at a super low rate - we can still source some, but the price is not nearly as fun.  But considering how gorgeous these are, and how desirable they are, in the context of modern bike prices, these are not really crazy at all.  At least we can get them.

.These rims are around 350g each if we recall.  They build up build up reasonably nice - although not like a modern rim (we wouldn't use them on high-dish 8, 9, or 10sp).  We did notice that they seem really nice and straight.  And they come nicely packaged as a pair with a cool cardboard holder for the pair (we may need to remove the holder thingy for shipping but we'll include it unfolded if we can.

What is very special about these rims is how gorgeous they are.  If you are building up a late super record or a C-record era bike, these rims are an absolutely stunning addition to the build. That is probably why they fetch such high prices.  Be sure to add $10 for shipping at checkout.
