One of the interesting differences between Quickbeam/Simpleone and Frank
Jones is that brake options are different (canti vs side/center pull). I'm
curious: if you were to build up a Frank Jones would you go with Tektro
R559 sidepull, a centerpull (eg. Dia Compe or Paul), or something else? Why?
I’ll probably end up with the 559s. I prefer the side pull cable route in the
rear over using a seat lug bolt mounted cable hanger. But as rbw are out of
stock at the moment I may start out with the mafac raid I’ve got in my parts
stash. If you are trying to max out the tire size with fenders, c
Depends on whether you intend to run fenders. Centerpull brakes have
better fender clearance than R559 sidepulls.

Thanks all! I also spoke without Will @ RBW today and he strongly
recommended the 559s as well. I think I’ll go that route.

Yep yep, that was Will's recommendation for my Chev, too. He has a Paul Racer
on the front of his, but he doesn't consider them any stronger than sidepulls.
The unspoken impression I got was he thinks all the cable hanger gymnastics
aren't worth the bother.
