Velocity dropped the OC version of the Synergy a while ago after reports of
rim cracking appeared. Then they dropped the Synergy model altogether. The
Atlas model takes the place of Synergy now. You can still get OC rims in

I'm the same age as you are. My desire to ride ebbs and flows over time. I'm
enjoying more these days than I have in a while, but I can relate to not
