DRC Rims still available?
« on: 01 January, 2018, 03:14:21 pm »
Paging Torslanda.  Are DRC rims still available? I need a black 32h ST17. The only place I've been able to find is Butterfield Cycles in Manchester but it looks like they don't do mail order.
It's a bit weird, but actually quite wonderful.

I am looking at a new set of wheel and have been talking to Dave (DCR Wheels) via email about them. DCR rims are available from them, although they are not shown on the rims page for some reason. Maybe worth dropping him an email.

Edit: Hope I am not getting confused here and you actually mean DCR rims and not DRC.

Sorry, only just seen this. If Peter Butterfield has stock I'll ask him if he will post them out. If not I could do it myself.

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

The website says 1 in stock. He's about 3 miles from me I'll ring him tomorrow.

IIRC you're in Scotlandshire...?

dunno if they are still going strong or not, but for some reason they are no longer so widely available in the UK as they once were. Still have a website

http://www.drc.it/gamma-home/ktc-380/?lang=en

and a pdf catalogue that is a bit out of date.

Thank you so much Mr T. PM on its way to you.  :thumbsup:

ETA; all sorted, thanks to Torslanda and the nice and helpful Mr Butterfield. https://butterfieldbicycles.co.uk/

@ BobScarle, no it really was DRC, although Mr Google was pointing me to DCR too!  ???
