Any opinions on brakes? I was thinking of going with V brakes on this one because they're easier to adjust and I'm more familiar with repairing them (*cough* in 33 degree weather on the side of the Katy Trail in the pouring rain *cough*) and I've never used/repaired canti's before.
But if it's going to be too much of a PITA or too much dough to get them working with my drop bars then I guess I'll learn more about cantis!
