Finally got around to doing a couple of things - getting a Phil Wood hub and building my own wheel. Jim Thill at Hiawatha spent a good chunk of an evening trying to drill into my thick skull how to properly build a wheel. Might have been slightly less dim than most days, as the instruction took, and now have a Phil freewheel hub laced to a Salsa Delgado rim. Even more amazingly the wheel has stayed good for about 60 miles of riding over the weekend. Including a curb bash taken at a lot higher speed than planned.
About a week earlier, swapped the crankset out for a Sugino XD found secondhand. More than a bit scuffed up, but that crank just looks so "right" on this bike. One last observation - the Silver shifters do seem to work alot better with a seven speed rear than an eight. Was pretty sure that would be the case, but was nice to have it confirmed.
