Haven't purchased yet, but I'm thinking of buying the following: Wheelset V brakes - but I notice that Rivendell seems to not be selling these right now Brake pad inserts for Silvers Some Big Ben 700 x 35 tires Aluminum Bosco Bar if they get them in 12-36 cassette A front derailleur Maybe stem-mount shifters
And if I were to win a frame, then I'd be in a bind again trying to raise funds to build it up. I think I would go with a custom made like a Roadeo and try to build it up light and racy (SRAM 50-34 front with 12-36 rear), since I have the beefy touring, country bike, and offroad areas covered pretty well.
