You can actually add spacers to your 130mm hubs to make them fit. I am
currently running Ultegra hubs with Open Pro rims on my Sam Hillborne and
absolutely love the combo. The trick is to add 2 one millimeter spacers to
each side, and then you're close enough to the 135mm spacing. I typically

I have Dura Ace hubs re-spaced to 135mm w/ a longer axle and a spacer. Try
some Velocity A23 rims, they're they cool new thing on the market. Then
some Challenge Parigi-Roubaix (29mm)... give that a try and see if you're
happy!

The great folks fixed it with no problem. Apparently the chain ripped up 8

Congrats! Was watching him drop by $50 each time. Should be an amazing bike,

I want to see an election sign bike box with the only sensible political
slogan in the last 50 years, Gary Johnson's quip, "I never exhaled." Or else a
straight ticket "None of the above".

Well done. I like the random graphic elements. Reminds me of things made from

BTW, wouldn't it be Bar BOX?

I (think) I have a set of NOS 610's in the parts box if you find out the 750
are too long. The original 610 was forged, and has a more classic look, vs the
new Grand Compes which are CNCd IIRC.

I have the Tektro/Silver equivalent on my Rambouillet, but it is a job to
keep them from squeezing the fenders. I like the idea of maximizing the
fender/tire clearance with center pulls.

Thanks. I may just do that if I cannot find a center pull alternative. I am
in no rush to build this bike up, and in fact had to agree to hold off on
further bike related purchases after plunking down the cash for the frame.

I think the dia compe 750s might be too long, even at the highest point of
the brake pads. Have you looked at the gran compe 610? It looks like a
high quality brake with a lower price than the paul brakes have. I have
to say though, paul brakes are worth saving up for if you can wait.

Should have said, Pauls are well outside of my budget. Looking for
something more affordable. Anyone try the Dia-Compes on their Homer? Other
long reach center pulls out there?

I had Paul Racers on mine. Worked perfect. I think the Dia Compe have longer
reach. Check before buying to be sure you can shorten.

Anyone have any knowledge or experience on whether the Dia-Compe Mod 750
Centerpull Brakes (http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/brcp1.htm) will work
with the 700c Hilsen? Other centerpull brake options?
Thanks,

Long Beach, CA seems to be getting a lot of attention for it's bike

Approximately half a million people, but is in the middle of the Greater LA

Yes, I think smaller/midsized cities are really poised to reap benefits
from cycling infrastructure if the people/cyclists can advocate and exert
pressure (and elect people) who are willing to create better places to

hiccups along
Have you considered getting a zippy wheel set? A lighter wheel set with
higher gearing and event tires - maybe even tubular if you want - can make
a big difference.
