I haven't seen one of those in ages! haha
Did you replace the forks or the previous owner(s)? I'm trying to get a handle on what I need to buy.
Nice. That's almost exactly what I want to build, something clean and unassuming for getting to work and back. What type of brakes did you end up putting on it? Mine are fairly shot so I was thinking of replacing with modern, more efficient equivalents.
Is it a good idea of match the front and rear brakes (ie. buy a set), or should I spend more on the front brake and get a cheaper rear since it's not as crucial?
