I just finished building this bike for myself with new and used components. It's a Surly Cross Check. I built the wheels with Sun CR-18 rims and DT spokes. The rear hub is a Shimano roller brake hub with cassette. The front hub is a Sturmey Archer drum brake. So both wheels have hub brakes instead of rim or disc brakes.
I didn't try to make it particularly heavy or light, but it came out quite heavy. It rides nicely, though. The tires measure to be 37mm in width.
