I wonder if there is a sexier lightweight brake, though.

The Hi-E hubs are fun and light, and are USA made, so they are a nice match for the Titan. ... I wonder how much other lightweight American stuff you could put on the frame? I'm sure someone has done a project like this, though. Between Phil Wood, Hi-E, Weyless, and maybe even Pino Moroni (sp?), you could end up with a really cool bike!
