Looks like a great build and I can't wait to see those bosco's on that frame. I've got a supernova E3 pro2 as well, for the past year and it's a good light. If you get a chance try to look at one of the latest B&M Cyo Premium's though... I got one back in October and the difference is amazing,

Nice build choices. +1 on the Phil 7-spd (or any freewheel hub)...especially if you prefer friction shifting.. I think 7 speeds is ideal; I've never been very adept at nailing my friction shifts with a 9-spd cassette, but maybe that's just me. Above all... choose what YOU want !! Peace, BB

The White Hub is $100 less than the PW and will give you very smooth and durable performance. Michael On Thursday, February 27, 2014 3:28:59 PM UTC-5, Liesl wrote: > > Hi Friends, the beginning is near; looks like Joe Bell will send the > custom frame to Riv around March 21. Zownds! > > Here's

Consider running Grip Rings instead. I like the free expression of colorways for free spirits like you, Liesl. Plus the rubbery cushy part, too. On Thursday, February 27, 2014 12:28:59 PM UTC-8, Liesl wrote: > > Hi Friends, the beginning is near; looks like Joe Bell will send the > custom f

Yes, RJM is correct: the Phil Rivy hub is freewheel. You'd be limited to a 7-speed freewheel on the Phil. If you want to run 9 speeds on the rear, you need a cassette hub. The Phil cassette hub is almost $500, and is gorgeous. The mid-level Shimano hubs are ~$50-75, and perfectly ok. Nothing w

Exciting! Do you mean 26" Aeroheat rims? I think Aeroheat is Velocity's touring-type rim. Are you getting the Phil Cassette hub (per your SRAM 9-sp cassette)? or the Phil Rivvy 7-sp freewheel style? Big Bens-- I really enjoy them on my Hunqapillar. They roll really nicely. Did you consider the

I like it. Bosco bullmoose will look awesome on that frame. You indicated a Phil Rivy hub in back. I think those are freewheel hubs so it won't work with your 9 speed cassette. I favor the Deore RD over the XT. A classy, working bike derailer that functions great. On Thursday, Februar
