Gears are for people over 45, or at least that's what the sub-forum thingy says. I went with 50s. Hopefully they aren't too gaudy looking. They down tube is 48mm so the rims should blend well hopefully.
Next question is which rear hub.
The low flange Novatec hub at 217g (actually already in the mail because this is a tough to find hub and I'll use it eventually):

or visually one of my favorite track hubs of all time which is 290g. Found a guy with a few NOS for not too much (he has the blue, red, and silver in stock. Which color):
Can I even use the cane creek hub or does the rim need to be drilled with a smaller hole since the spoke flange is at the top?
