Yeah, if I had it to do over again, I'd go for the f/w version, too. I was thinking you could build a really clean-looking bike (no brake calipers or levers, no derailleurs (obviously) or shifters), but now I'm thinking I don't want to rely solely on a coaster brake, so I'll probably have a Neo-Retro on the front.

I'm just hoping Rivendell is bringing back the Q/R Suzue hubs- they, uh, shift pretty reliably too heh heh.
