Nathan,
I think you need to compare apples to apples:
The $200 wheels (http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/budget-twin-
hollow-wheelset/18-312) are twin hollow rims, which are single-walled
rims, that are inferior to synergy and dyad. I believe handspun build
these, too.
Riv does sell synergy/L
Thanks all for the advice so far!
Those Handspun wheels (Dyad, Deore LX) seem like a good deal at $260
shipped, but I'm wondering how they compare to RBW's $200 Budget
Synergy Wheelset (Synergy, Deore) which Rich goes over a bit. Since
I'm a local I won't have to pay shipping on the wheels from RB

For a light person, get light tires! You also might want to consider
the 32mm Grand Bois Cypres tires which are fast and long lasting. Col
de Vie sucks a bit of life out of a lively bike; great for lots of off
roading and winter, but less so on the road. The Cypres offer more

Of course I was there when you bought the frame. I have used several
pairs of tektro R556 (or silver) extra long reach brakes. Paired with
the right kind of brake pads they are quite effective. For Briana, who
is lightweight, they won't flex as much.
Dia Compe 750 center pull brakes are a
The Saluki is a tough bike. Don't worry about the load amounts.
The first thing I would ask is: What does she want?
Building a bike up fro someone else is an interesting endeavor. That
person may, or may not, be interested in the same type of build.
Personally, I would just steer clear of Cdl
I have the Pari-motos on my Saluki 650b. I have had two flats over
900 miles. The rear tire is now without tread but I really like these
tires. They are light and fast and good for pavement and gravel. I
just bought replacement Pari motos from Riv HQ.

They do away with the weird sound the CdlVs make when my bike is

1. brakes - Silvers
2. wheels - The budget 650B set from Rivendell is a great bargain.
3. tires - Col de la Vie is a great all around tire and affordable.
Ever so slightly wider than the Soma.
