Putting together an order. I believe I'm getting 105 hubs, CXP33 rims (15 inside), 36 butted spokes, The Open Road Pro are also common enough. I think both rims are strong and capable.
The cassette I'm looking at is the HB50-9 and the chain and is the HG-53.
Everything but the chain and tires is used, but is in good shape.
I'm going to start with some either 32 or 35mm Vittoria Randoneurs and make sure everything is working fine, then worry about spending twice as much on nicer tires later. I like to have extras around the garage anyway.
It looks like I can get out the door with this for around $300, and can get some shorter, maybe weeklong, tours in on this setup.

Since you all have been so helpful and I'm pushing into territory that I'm not as familiar with...What am I about to do wrong here? Anything I'm forgetting?
