> > For my custom: > Frame and fork: I would ask Rivendell for the lightest, fastest FF I could get that would let them still sleep well at night. Paint: Traced lugs/crown, cream headtube, and a very dark greenish/blueish patchwork plaid type color, or , whatever was available from their custom color charts. If not plaid, then some kinda metallic aqua color, but with the biggest sparkles (metal flake?) I could get that would still allow Rivendell employees sleep well at night. Build: Nitto, Nitto, Nitto, Brooks, Brooks, drivetrain up to the advice of Riv. Gearing light for hills. MKS Touring Pedals. Bar ends, Shimano brake levers. Toss up for Paul Racers or Silver-type Sidepulls - whatever is more fail-proof and easier to fix on the road. Wheels up to Rivendell, but husky enough so that they could still sleep well at night and I could mount 30-something mm tires with enough clearance for fenders. Eyelets/Braze-ons: As many as they could sqeeze in, and still be able to sleep at night. I would *not *use them for racks, I just like to attach things to 'em (like fenders and extra tail lights and a Gino mount for a headlight.). I would use a saddle bag and two Nitto bottle holders.
