Just snagged a set laced to XT hubs and Tye Dye Ti spokes. Very much anticipating their arrival :mrgreen:

Re:

Well, they have arrived, now I sense a large hemorrhage of cash from my wallet to begin shortly for a future build.

Re:

I particularly love sunset, I had 7 nos in my life,they are so cool and so different from each other, some more yellow some more blue.. and now I kept a nos pair laced to 950 hubs. Dreamt some like yours with cool spokes. Maybe you could think about some exoteric hubs, no hurry. Enjoy them!

Cool

Were any sunsets done with coloured walls ? i.e. when they were new and before they had had a brake pad on them, were the walls the sunset colour ?

Cheers,

WD

Re:

I believe all were machined after not before the colouring, but could be wrong

Re:

Nice.

Braking surface was machined (so silver) on all the 217s. My favourite colour has always been champagne.

Much less than they would've been new.
