Yesterday at the RBW garage sale I picked up a 50cm 650B Saluki frame.
I'm going to build it up as a road bike / occasional light S24O
hauler. The rider will be a lightweight 5'5 lady, so it'll be able to
carry a 10-20 lb load just fine.
I have much of the build planned out (Noodles w/ bar-ends,
1 - Brakes: Love the silvers. Some complain of too much flex, but I found
them to be perfect.
2 - Wheels: find a used set of the Synergy/Deore wheels that QBP sold.
3 -Tires: I'd get some Hetres.

1. brakes (Silvers or Dia-Compe's or Paul center-pulls?)
I have Paul centerpulls on my Saluki. I'm *very* happy with them, though I
can't compare them, not having ridden the others.
2. wheels (Rich-built Synergy 32h 105?)
The 36H Synergy Peter White-built wheels I have are tight and strong.
