Brazing of brake bridges (going to maybe deal with that later - clamp something on for now)
Paint and stuff - a long way off. Will build up as is and get it going. Looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun. MANY MANY thanks to Guy Retreaux for the ISO 520 Terry forks. Once I get the crown race on it will be seamless.
To buy: brakes, brake levers, shifters, cables
On order: Phil cups, Phil Tools (I broke mine - long story), a short-axle un-72 (I found one!)
Lookin' good LP.
Have you considered SA hub brakes?
I've just returned from an Energy Breakthrough event where hybrid and racing recumbents predominately use them, they're light and seem to work very well, considering the "breakneck" speeds those loonies get to.
