Questions
1. What shop in Singapore sells that 61T ring? How much and does it come in silver? What's the bcd?
2. How did you get v-brakes to play nice with road brake levers? They have different pull, don't they?
A suggestion: a 451 wheelset, caliper brakes and Panaracer Minits Lite 7/8.
1. ordered online from bike 24, comes only in black, its a 130 bcd. im not gonna pass the link here, but a search on the site for gebhardt will get you the chainring
2. it doesnt work as well but it still it brakes okay had no issues with it

havent had the chance to do so since I cant find a shower at work, but my test ride from bike shop to home feels okay, like a road bike

The Raleigh MV8 frame is really nice for upgrading.
I think you may have got the last few since they now have a new design for the mini velo series.
Interesting option for that 61T, did you get it locally?
I like the older curved downtube version but only way to get it new is to get it second hand. it doesnt make sense to me.
what i like about the frame is the long top tube proportionally to the wheels, its quite stable and not twitchy
