I sprung for the VO Zeppelins, as I really liked the 45s I had on my
Raleigh Portage (also 650B, with cantis) and prefer the aluminum to
plastic. If I can't make them work I'll see about swapping with the Portage
(a sweet bike, btw). I'm hoping to start the build as soon as a couple more
parts
I'm fairly certain the fenders will bit in the clearance provided by the
frame; it's the brake calipers, particularly when squeezed, that I'm more
worried about.
Are the Honjo 50s you use true to size?

I'll probably pull the trigger on the Thin Gripsters soon, as I have the
MKS touring pedals on other bikes, so trying something different will be
good, and I'd like something with a bit more grip to allow for more
effortless riding in Birks. The MKS Touring Lites look much smaller.

The MKS Touring Sylvan lite is a nice pedal.

I use the P50s on my 56 Hillborne with canti brakes. I might have room for
a P55, and had considered it, but it would be tight. May even be tighter
if I was using sidepulls. When I called Riv, Mark suggested the P50. He
said it would fit any 40 width tire. I had to bend the mounting
Here's another query: What is the max fender width that can fit under
Tektro R559 sidepulls? I've been looking at the VO Zeppelin fenders (52mm)
but those who use these have canti or v brakes? Does anyone have these
mounted with Tektro long-reach brakes?
Thanks again!

You should also measure the width of your fork blades. Sometimes this is the
limiting factor.
FOr instance, Honjo H-50 fenders fit in the Tektro R559 brakes great on my
Bleriot, but I only have about 1mm of airspace between the sides of the fenders
and the inside of the fork blades. So they
Throw a Tubus rack on the back. They are set up for BM topline lights. If
you go Dynamo, get a wired version, otherwise the Cygo Streak front and
battery Topline back are good alternatives. Riv sells both.
Get a rolltop pannier for the back rack. Ortlieb and Arkel have excellent
rapid
Congratulations on the new bike. Looking forward to seeing photos of the
final build.
There have been some good suggestions. My two cents:
1. Compass tires
2. Sneaker pedals
3. Interrupter levers (I like them on my noodles when I am riding in urban
areas)
4. Cork bar tape; I prefer it to the
+1 on the B17 Special. The thicker leather and hammered rivets are a nice
upgrade from the standard B17. It also looks great on the blue or
orange Sams (if that is what yours is). I also like both the Thin Gripster
and Grip Kings pedals. I would get the spike package for the Grip Kings.
Well, shucks. I wasn't very patient (the frame just looked so naked, which
is nice, but I wanted to take her places) so I put in my order yesterday
for most everything I didn't have on hand (my day off work coincided with
my post's moderation period).
Anyhow, I went with mostly standard
I'm a huge fan of the Tektro TRP RRL brake levers. They have excellent
feel and ergonomics. I have the black/black ones on my KOM and the gum
ones on my Riv (both on Nitto B135 bars).
King Iris cages are the best, hands down.

Also again, I guess this might warrant a whole new thread, but I'd also be
curious if anyone knows about USB battery packs that might be compatible
with a dyno hub (to use for charging a cell phone or possibly a netbook).
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions, though.
Also, does anyone have experience running a Supernova headlight,
particularly the E3 Pure 3? http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/supernova.asp
In response to the bag comment above: I'll be moving my Sackville Med from
my previous ride to this one. Love that bag
