The custom sounds amazing! I have pondered why the Compass/RH centerpulls aren't used on any of the caliper-brake Rivendells. I understand the desire to avoid rare / single source parts but the R Herse brakes are truly the best of all worlds, unless you're heavily loaded / riding a tandem. My

On the question of V-brakes vs. Centerpulls, in my opinion V-brakes are: 1. Just too ugly. A very subjective thing. 2. Very hard to combine with wide/tall tires and fenders. So I am probably not a customer for the Charlie H Gallop. I ride drop bars on road bikes. I have two bikes with V-
