One more, but probably not last, question. With your drop bar it looks like your using a cross lever, which I'm guessing is short pull. How did you get it to work with the v-style brakes, which I would have thought would have needed a long-pull leaver?
Thanks from me and all other aspiring Swift fixers,

I have the Nashbar cross lever with the brake pads set close to the rim. One of the advantages of 20" wheels is they stay true longer, so you can set the pads close and not worry about them rubbing against the rim. The cross lever also works well with a Travel Agent.
