The brake choice came down to the decision by the customer. He had a definite preference for caliper brakes, so since we could (by the skin of our teeth) make them work with the fenders, we went with them (and we had a pair of Shimano canti's waiting in the wings just in case.)
The skewers (and wheelset) are all Velocity. And more Murphy updates are soon ... although a pile of parts is just not that exciting to photograph. But we'll see if we can make it interesting.
