Luke — That doesn't sound like a budget bike! Might you consider an early 90s Bridgestone RB-1, slap some new tires on it and call it a day?
I do love the idea of your build and the intended rims and components you mentioned. Certainly a worthwhile build I'd love to see realized. It's just gonna be costly! The Sachs-Huret front derailers are nice-looking. Can anyone share their experiences with the Jubilee? I've never run one, I'm curious how well they shift. What kind of cassette limitations do you encounter with one?
