Ditto on the Paul brakes. I have Neo-Retros on the front and Touring on the back (gives a little flexibility for panniers). They're wonderful.

Yeah! 1) Have any of you ridden with a fixed cog on flip side of the stock hub? Yes, but not a lot of miles. No problems w/out a lockring. 2) Seeing as this a build-up project, I have the opportunity to tweak the stock build as much as I like (or can afford). Is there anything you modified later that you wish had come on the stock bike? Any tips appreciated. Paul brakes, either Neo-Retros or Touring. A bit of an up-charge, but pennies over the life of the bike. -- Cheers, David Redlands, CA "Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be.
