I had the exact same reaction! I thought, how can that have been my bike? I had 
so much stuff on it...

I figured it was to avoid the cable rubbing the stop, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Virgil, my main concern was to have the brake cable secured in the cable 
stop somehow and to not just rub against the edge of the stop.  The link 
above to Joe's build shows that he used a part from a brake noodle to put 
in the stop.  But I also wanted to center the cable on the top of the 
downtime (the stop is off center) before I connected it to the cable 
hanger.  So, I ordered one of these clamp on cable stops 
, 
centered it an inch and a half down from the stop, and ran a bit of cable 
between them. Brake operation feels smooth and strong.  It adds an extra 
piece, which irritates my minimalist sensibilities, but oh well.

Jon, measuring at the outer knobs, the tire is between 50-51mm wide.  Yes, 
every ride I'm appreciating the bike's qualities more and more.  I can't 
wait to spend all day on it!

Jason, this video 

 
shows that Paul ran a 45mm fender & 32mm tire in the Racer Mediums.  The 
Racers are larger-- I read somewhere that there's 54mm between the pivots. 
 So maybe 50mm with 45s?

So great!
enjoy it
I really want one of those slimy green ones in a 60mm.
Any thoughts on how big the 700c tires can get with those brake AND take 
fenders?

Gabe that's a clean looking machine. You are going to enjoy many miles on 
what I think is the MOST COMFORTABLE  riding bike in my opinion.
I'm curious what the actual tire width is when installed.
Enjoy your new bike.
Jon
