The RonKitching page is wonderful stuff, good posting. But that is only how the bike would most likely be built at RonKit. Bruegelmann would do it a little different and via Egidio Folli would have yet another way. Biggest surprise from Kitching is the suggestion of using wired-ons. Wonder if anyone ever did?

I've only once seen Cornez clips, they weren't much. They also weren't 1960. Most who wanted to give this build a good effort would try and find Al-E or REG clips. If it were done with regular Christophe it would be fine. A bike this fine it could be plausible to search out original spokes, regular modern stainless would do for your "B" wheels.
