Hey I just ordered an 08 Schwinn Madison (the light blue one) from my shop I work at and am planning to sell all the parts off it and sell my old fixed to totally build this up but I need some suggestions on a couple of components:
Wheels: I am building a pair of white 32H Deep-V's but I am not sure on which hubs I should use. I am between the Surly hubs or Miche Hubs. Both are within $4 of the other so price doesnt matter just am looking for reviews on either or which one you guys recommend.
Crank: I have no idea what I want to do with the cranks. The options I am looking at are the SRAM Omnium, Miche Primato, FSA Carbon Track these are all within $15 of each other pretty much and for about $25 more than the most expensive out of that group I could get Sugino 75's w/o BB. I kinda like the idea of the external BB of the Omnium but I'm not sure if it would ruin the look of such a classic looking bike.
Thanks, Greg
