I guess I could've included some details! I went with 27" Velomine CR18's for budget reasons. The original plan was to rebuild the old rear wheel with a Velo Orange 126mm hub, but I couldn't justify the expense. Tires are cheapy 27"-1 1/4 (shop had no options on 27" tires), and I've got room to go wider, as you'll see. I've read the Michelin World Tour 1 1/4's run especially wide.
I picked up the freewheel off of eBay for a decent price. It's a very lightly used Suntour Winner 13-32. RD is the Suntour VGT Luxe flog00 hooked me up with. Looks and shifts great. The Dia-Compe hoods from Velo Orange do not fit the Gran Compe levers properly, but it doesn't bother me too much; they are pretty comfortable and have a good feel.
The shop did something very odd with the shifter cable from the stop to the guides underneath the BB. This is a shop that works with vintage stuff pretty frequently, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Any thoughts?
