I am starting to think about buying my dream build which will be a A. Homer Hilsen. tentatively these are the components I would like.
650b wheel set built on Phil Wood hubs. Ultegra derailleurs and cassette cranks, undecided but not Shimano, they're ugly, Maybe White Industries double. White Industries pedals with Bruce Gordon half clips Nitto lugged quill stem, hand polished to mirror finish Nitto lugged seat post? Brooks saddle or a Specialzed Avatar which I have and like. The question is around which brakes to use. The long reach side pulls are probably adequate and are certainly cheaper but there is something about the high polished Paul Racers that look good on Rivendell's. My question to those who own the Paul's "Would you buy them again?" Of course we are talking about center post mounts as I am not going to go custom frame here. I have never been a fan of center pull brakes, the ones that I have tried all sucked but they haven't been as well built as the Paul's. I would like to hope they are great brakes and easy to set up because you can't beat side pulls for easy set up. So those who own Paul's or have used them, do you like them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
