I have gone with Cane Creek SCR 5 levers but now wonder if I have got the wrong ones as I am not able to get a good pull on the levers, i.e., it is soft and I can run out of lever pull.

Other than that, it's a very nice build! I love the retro thumb shifters. I have a thumb shifter myself on my touring folding bike.
I agree. Very nice and apologies for high jacking the thread.
