It needs braze-ons for cantilever or V-brakes. Who wants a big-tire bike with caliper brakes? Another BD cluster**** of a frameset.

then its the frame for you. personally, i like to choose my own componants and i alway buy the same headset - cane creek S6. its the one i like for the price. i wouldn't buy a frame that came w/ parts on it already. i never have done that. all my bikes have been 100% built up by me. but, fine if you like it. i just don't agree.

its not a big deal to me. but it is why i might choose the kilo over the jury (which is the topic of the thread). but i will be buying neither right now anyways.

jury didnt come in white, kilo did. Even though I was considering black at the time, I picked white. and even if I were to pick black, the 20 dollar difference is still 20 dollars im not spending

you know, i wish BD would put a 74deg headtube on ALL sizes of the kilo, and a 73 or 73.5 on the jury, and just do progressive slope seat tubes. i know there are legitimate reasons for size-based geometry, but seriously.

Make a chrome Kilo and they'll get my attention. Heck a chrome Clockwork and I'm a buyer.

I built up a chrome jury. I like it. I run 28s with a lot of room to spare. It's a really relaxed ride, nice commuter. Canti braze-ons would've been nice, but we can't always get what we want.

Bikes Direct has the JURY track fame that can take racks, fenders and tires as wide as 42c. It has brake clearance problems with a very limited amount of caliper brakes available with 80mm+ reach

which is why I'm looking at it. The brake... well, they exists so that's not a show stopper.

BI supposedly has some highlighted that work (buried somewhere in this thread), the front brake needs a little less reach than the back.
I'm not building it yet, just have some things highlighted for when I'm ready. Worst case, I figure I'll email BI when I'm finally ready to build.
I'm planning a University of Kansas (Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk!) color scheme which might offend some but I'm thinking'll be pretty slick.

Maybe a bmx caliper could work? 65mm-89mm:
