The plan is to get a shimano 9 speed11-34 cassette so a chain and long derailleur will also be needed. Should be on the road in a couple of weeks if all goes well. I'll put up some pics as soon as its on wheels. Thanks again for all your help.
Great hubs, too. Not sure what type of derailleur you have in mind but I'll mention that I've had good experiences with Microshift's R10. I think there's an R9 - I like them because I prefer a silver derailleur, and they perform flawlessly. Looking forward to more pictures!
