My impression is you've never ridden a Riv (not a criticism, just noting)
and will be happy to learn they're all great on pavement. Drop bars limit
how long a toptube you can run so you're probably right that a Homer is a
good bet (see, also: Roadini, Hillborne). But it's also possible to size

FWIW, after having used any number of drop bars, my favorite is the Maes

For a front hub, I tend to use Shimano 105s because they are reliable and

Do it yourself! Have your LBS order a matching dynamo and the required
spokes (and the correct spoke wrench) and have at it with a little help
from YouTube.

Thanks all for the info. I believe this is actually an Alex DM24, not a

I am going to try to find a local wheel builder that can take this wheel
apart and rebuild it with a Shimano dynamo - that way I don't have another
set of wheels (or a spart front wheel) lying around as Josh mentions.

I really like the Rivendell approach to bikes and bike technology with the
idea of a more upright posture and a long wheelbase for long rides at a
comfortable pace, but it seems like the models all lean heavily to what
they call "country bikes." I like to ride from my house, and that means
I'd appreciate some recommendations for a new hub for my Appaloosa. I don't
