NOS Velocity B43/Gran Compe II wheelset - lime green
$ 425.00
Ah yes...the legendary, OG Australian-made Velocity Brisbane 43. New old stock from 2011 or so, these pups will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Laced 3X to Gran Compe II high flange hubs using Sapim Race double butted spokes and Polyax brass nipples, these wheels are a total showstopper and 1,000,000% bombproof.
For those who don't know, the triple-walled B43 was introduced by Velocity when the first wave of fixed gear freestyle was making tacos of traditional rims, being a bike messenger was still actually hard work and and drunk punks playing bike polo under urban bridges was in full swing.
Are they light? Nope. Will they get you laid? Maybe. Could you throw your bike off a 3-story roof, climb down and roll away on it just fine? Probably. Are they rad AF? Absolutely!
Hand built at Retrogression in Portland OR.
B43 rims are not compatible with brakes. Don't do it, foo!
