I'm restoring an '87 Voyaguer (full on touring bike). It has mismatched rims and they would need a complete overhaul. So, I'm going to build a new wheelset. I need help choosing between the CR-18 and the Velocity Twin Hollow. I want a 1 1/4" rim and want it to be polished. Is the Velocity polished or anodized?
Why am I not converting to 700c? Cantilever brakes. Pasela Tourguard tires are A-Ok with me.
Why not find donor wheels? I'm using this an excuse to put a dynamo hub on the front (I love my Shimano 3N80).
The freewheel is fine. What currently produced freewheel hubs are available at reasonable prices? Looking for Shimano 105 price/quality and polished or silver finish.
