Overall not a bad looking build. I can't get into the mini-v brakes though.
Why not? when I had a cross bike with Campy ergo shifter and tried using a

I'd like to see the Sugino cranks offered with a black or hard anodizing.
But Sugino cranks can be found in black! Here's the Alpine 800d in black:

Recently did the same to the rear and noticed even better stopping power.
Are these yokozuna the same as the koostop salmon pads? Both are

Could deck out the whole frameset with complete Silver build.
Wonder if they will only sell these rings from now on at RBW?
