Bikes: Upright and Recumbent....too many to list, mostly Vintage.

There's definitely some modern parts that interest me as far as implementing the final solution for this Bates.

I really like the idea of 120mm cassette hubs from Gran Bois Compass Bicycles: Hubs
I like their cranks too even though they're pricey...I wanna keep to alloy parts as much as possible to keep the weight down. The frame is so lightweight to being with, no reason to spoil that with steel parts.

Any parts recommendations welcome. Color suggestions too... I'm pretty open to hearing ideas. I think the main thing I know I want on the final build is these Lyotard Berthet pedals and the GB Cypres Tires. Aside from that the rest is up in the air
