I probably deserve a special prize because I've got plain black Deep-Vs.
They're somewhat Australian in character: finish is basic, technology lacking.
Crude but effective.
However, for the goat-tracks that constitute roads in this city they're great. Mine have taken a proper beating without complaint.
I'd give thought to making sure the hubs can take the abuse too. My Formulas still run smooth but I've had a disintegrating locknut and the track nuts from the back wheel have literally collapsed. Not a big job to replace though.
