Who's Running 700c Wheels?

[luckyfind]

I'm a big fan of velocity blunts with cream Amsterdam tires. I have a set of Big Ben fat franks that are brick red they ride really nice but are spendy

Running 700x42c/ Velocity Blunt 35's on my Napoleon. Good all-around size for city streets & meaty enough for a lil trail riding too.

Need this exact wheel set for my "Model A" Colson Flyer. I've got my old morrow hubs. Where do I buy the rims and tires?

I think I picked up the wheels off eBay for approx $70 each. Tires are Kendas that I picked since they somewhat mimic button tread motorbike tires. The rims and tires were originally purchased for my 20's Elgin motorbike project, but decided to use then on the Napoleon since it was closer to being roadworthy.

I think everyone is running 700 tires on their riders, those 700x42c/ Velocity Blunt 35's on FordMike65's bike look awesome .... wow
are you looking for clinchers of single tubes?
I personally would try to find 28" wood clinchers from a canadian bike or buy the very beautiful 28" wood clinchers made in PA from the Amish community
or if you want single tube tires to put on a show bike, I personally only buy the knobbies from universal.com in PA, they are the best looking show tires, they look like most original tires, better that those RD tires
just my opinion

Well I made the jump to 700s, not on the first bike in the thread though...

1928 Electric. eBay 700 wheelset with SC2 rear hub. Tires are Kenda 42's.

I just went through this for a rim set for a 35 colson....On some good advice and research I picked up a set of Velocity Chukker hoops. They don't look too vintage, but they are durable, wide and look awesome IMHO. They take presta valves, but they can easily be drilled out for shraders

I run them on my Elgin. Love em....

Sweet ride Junk Hunter! I rock the Deep V's on my fixie and love em, so they seemed like a logical choice, plus their made in Michigan like me! Good to hear you love your chukkers, I haven't laced them up yet...

What brand tire and size are those on the Elgin........fit OK with the fenders on ??
Those look great and I'm looking for something for my 29-30 Elgin Cardinal.

Thanks!!!
