Awesome. Thanks for the detailed response. Love it. Final question: the cassette range?
I’ve used bar-end shifters but never truly accepted the amount of cable outer projecting from the front of the drops.
First time for me using bar end shifters, and I agree. I routed the cables completely under the handlebar tape, and so far it's working great.

Interesting choice on the down tube shifters. What made you pick these over STI levers or bar end shifters? Does fit the retro feel of the overall bike; looking real good.
Any more details on the chainset setup? Is that a triple setup as a double? Very cool.

No groupset on old frame?

Fantastic thread.

maybe I could shove it one stud higher/lower, this might work, seems a bit of a bodge tho
I do this on my front brake (due to another issue though). Shimano doesn't recommend this - in fact, I swear I've seen somewhere that they actively say you shouldn't do this - but I like the heavier feel of the lever now actually.

I can't screw in the screw against the spring, so there is no spring tension in one arm
Correct me if I'm wrong oh mighty V-brake God, but that screw only serves to center the brake, no? Indeed, uninstalled there is no tension on the spring. But once you mount the pin in the canti stud hole and put the spring behind the pin of the V-brake arm, shouldn't there be tension?
If there is still no tension once the brake pads hit the rim, maybe you can swap/add more spacers in between the pad and the arm, forcing a greater angle on the arm and therefore possibly resulting in spring tension? Not ideal, since you want the arms to be parallel to the brake track once they engage, but might be worth a try.

Nitto makes similar racks, albeit also not cheap and only come in silver I think.

This looks great on the shallow rims. Are they tb14s?

Ever go on a really big ride? With tools in my jersey pockets, I've found to run out of space real fast.

Got an any bigger picture? Can't even see the red outline.
