Wanted: Orange Deep V's, if yer got 'em!?

Afternoon, so, I bought the Viscount (pic below) off the chap in Dulwich and on reflection, i'm not gonna respray and bling it up, i've decided to turn it into a nice 'rat look' hack and just have a larf on it.

I need a few pieces (which i can't find on fleabay), so thought i'd see if you guys/gals could help!

So, anyone got a pair of Orange Velocity Deep v's they wanna flog? (pref with hubs but no worries if not)

Here's the old girl... you can see why i want the orange now....

Holloway Cycles had a pair their window t'other day.

isn't that red?!

kowalski Holloway Cycles had a pair their window t'other day.

Hmmm... i'll giv'em a call now!

dogsballs isn't that red?!

I'm sure someone said you were colourblind db!?! ;) Nah, its orange, the pic does look a little reddish, i'll give yer that.

Yup, you're right, both Holloway and Cavendish have them in stock, £38 each... hmmm... bit expensive though at the mo, was idealy looking for some second hand ones! Any offers?

£38, is that machined/anodized? they're £35 un-anodized/un-machined from BLB.

well its 6 quid less...

could've done some black ones a couple weeks back, but i built them up for myself :P

why not put crap wheels on the crap frame, instead of forking over close to £150+ for a built up deep-v wheelset?

Er, you can't exactly talk Mr dogs "My hammerite-touched-up POLO BIKE has deep v's" balls. ;)

hammerite bike is getting resprayed, patina is the word for the polo bike ;)

Aren't deep v's 'blingin it up'? Or is that what the Rat's ride!!! ;-)

You could always paint it yourself!...for now?
File down the braze-ons, bit of sandpaper or paint stripper.
Can of undercoat and a good can of paint...or two.

Sweet!

Not sure, forgot to ask after the price realisation set in......

Oi!! Its a maaaarrrrrvelous frame, well, its ok, its a start and only cost me £20 in the end, but this is why i want some second hand wheels, am trying to keep the price down.... that, and the fact that i'm vain and want fancy mothers!

It IS important to get decent wheels.

You having the wheels built up for you?

people don't give deep v's away ;)

Thought about grinding off the cable guides etc then sending it to a sprayshop near my bro's in thetford, they said they would strip and powder it for £35!! But, i dunno, i kinda like the rugged look of it now.... when i'm more flush in the new year i'm going to build up a nicer one with a proper track frame, i just wanted to keep myself busy over xmas..... i know its blingin it but hey, it would look cool no?!

dogsballs isn't that red?!

It's red on my screen.

dogsballs people don't give deep v's away ;)

what if i beg? or offer sexual favours ;)

Dogs // You built your's yo'self?

mine too, not even orangey at that

Todd, Not sure.... depends on who i buy them from, the guys at holloway said they'd build them up but it was getting a wee bit costly.... if i can get a pair whole then cool, if not, well i'll have a go myself and then fall off laughing!

AAAArrrrrgggghh!!!! IT'S ORANGE!!!!! Right, gonna find another pic....

I like the old Viscount patina so why not stick with it and get the paint job when spring arrives.

How much they say they'd build them up for you for?

Buy them from the U.S and demand they state 'gift' on parcel. Should avoid customs...

These guys are great (and fast). I've avoided customs with them. Don't know what their shipping cost for these is but might be a decent deal. Lockring and sprockets inc. Could be cheaper than UK?

there you go ;)

Its feckin orange!!!!!!

Thanks Todd, maybe Santa (my girlfriend, or mum!), will be kind to me and buy me a set!

They havent given me a price yet, i'll have to call them again, just thought i'd see if anyone here could help first.
