BD,
Congratulations, Belle is one absolutely beautiful, well engineered bicycle. Thanks for the background report and the nice organized component list. The build is unique, and well thought out, its easy to tell you gave a lot of thought to every aspect of things. I hope you have many years and miles of enjoyment with Belle.
Bill
