Eric,
A nod to the Dia-Compe 980s. They don't have the more immediate stopping
power of Paul's but the price, classic design, silver finish and lack of
squeal (with Kool-Stop pads) make the 980s good brakes for me. Have run
them on one of my Rivs and will use them on two forthcoming builds.
Agree on the Tektro 720's - that's what I ran on my Hillborne for the
longest time and they are great value. Good power, nice looks - my only
complaint was their spring adjustment side to side is a bit limited, but
that's not really a big deal.

I went with the Paul Motolites and they are fantastic. But as you said, not
cheap. If I was shopping for cantilever brakes I'd look at the Tektro CR
720s. I set some up on an older Trek MTB last year and was very pleased
with performance, aesthetics, and ease of set-up. Plus they are pretty
Thanks Paul!
got it here but it looks like they're sold out at the moment

What brakes have folks gone with on their Sams? This will be the first
time I've built up a bike to spec, so it's new for me to have a choice. I
prefer cantis aesthetically, but probably can't afford Pauls so was looking
at the Dia Comps.

These all look so good! I think I'm starting to visualize the build.

The bars are 45cm Nitto Grand Randonneur B135 . Wider might be
preferable though

That looks great and is really close to what I have in my head, right down
to the Cane Creek levers. I'm deciding between using the Cane Creek levers
with a new set of Deore V-brakes or justing running standard levers with a
short-pull brake like the Paul Mini Motos. What handlebars are you
That's a lovely build. The patina on your saddle is perfection. Are those
Tektro brake levers?

I highly recommend the Compass/RH Barlow Pass 38mm tires for the Sam. I
think it's the perfect tire for this bike. Relatively fast ride yet
incredibly comfortable. I like the drop bar setup on mine works great
for long rides as provides lots of hand position options.
