My error, I did not realize that Velocity made a rim brake rim that was not machined.
My light touring bike has disc brake on rear, rim brake on front, I bought matching machined Dyads for both front and rear on that bike. That rim came machined for rim brakes or non-machined for disc. And that is what I was thinking by non-machined. I bought the machined for the disc wheel so that the rims would match for aesthetics.
It looks like you put a Velocity graphic in your post, but it is not showing up in my browser, I use Opera browser.
For the Dyad, Velocity lists options as:
MACHINED SIDEWALL DRILLINGS/COLORS:
32 spoke: Black, Silver, Polished
36 spoke: Black, Silver, Polished
40 spoke: Black, Silver, Polished
48 spoke: Black, Silver
NON-MACHINED SIDEWALL DRILLINGS/COLORS:
32 spoke: Black
36 spoke: Black
40 spoke: Black
But I see for Atlas, they do not list a painted version like the Dyad.
Sorry I got that wrong.
