For those of you planning, plotting, conspiring to do a build of your own, 
one thing that is not crystal clear is that you'll need is a pair of long 
reach caliper brakes.  I've got two sets that I would like to sell.  One is 
the very modest Tektro 365.  It's got the identical forgings and geometry 
of the "nicer" models but has a modest finish, solid brake blocks and a 
primitive adjusting barrel.  The ones I'm selling have some corrosion 
visible as well, so they are budget, ugly-duckling brakes.  The other is 
the nicer 556, which has a nicer barrel adjuster and came with nice metal 
pad holders.  These were on friend-Doug's A. Homer Hilsen and at some point 
he replaced one set of brake pads, so the holders are black on one brake, 
grey on the other, and the brake inserts themselves are red on one brake 
and black on the other.  I'm asking $35 shipped for the 365s and $55 
shipped for the 556s.
