Hiya Bill, I appreciate the compliment on the previous build. Good to hear your wheel tire combination work.
On this build I'm going with a more around town lighter setup. Since I posted this on the forum I believe I've decided I'd like to run a tire from 47 mm up to~55mm. I may start out with a WTB horizon or byway. For rims I am leaning towards the Velo Orange Voyager rims in 650B setup tubeless. Unfortunately they're out of stock!! Albatross bars. I really want to keep my cockpit clean so I'm considering downtube shifters or stem shifters. My preference would be the downtube shifters, just simpler and cleaner lines. I don't care about indexing so friction is my preference. Drivetrain 9-speed with a white industries double crank. Small Nitto rack up front and small Nitto rear rack both of which I have. I'm considering Paul Minimoto brakes and I have Paul brake levers. Vice silver pedals to complete the build.
