Excited to assemble my upcoming Homer (first Riv!), but Velocity is backordered on the Atlas rims and it might be a month or more until I could get a pair. I'm curious if anyone here might have a wheelset for sale that would fit. 

I plan on using 43mm tires and Paul centerpull brakes, 8sp Shimano cassette, would need a 135mm rear spacing.

Maybe?

Several years back I sold a Complete Toyo Atlantis to a neighbor.  I sold the whole bike for $1900 and now looking at it through a 2024 lens, I gave it away.  I reached out to my neighbor to see if he'd sell it back.  My neighbor indicated he lives overseas for now, and that he sold the frame set for $1400 a while back. The build kit is still in his garage, around the corner from me.  I've asked him to sell me back the build kit, and I'm awaiting his response on that.  If I procure that build kit, the wheel set would be sensational on a 700c Hilsen.  Nothing is assured quite yet.

Found a good deal on a pair of Atlas/WI wheels. Thanks all for the feedback and offers and I look forward to posting the new build next month :)
