I really like the one you built, Fender1. I keep meaning to ask you where you got those bottle cages. I've been using Two-Fish ones but I see that you are able to mount a pump with the ones you have. Who makes them?

golftdi: One thing I did not mention in the note about my build was that the Royale has a 126mm spacing in the dropouts and the Nexus is 130. I just spread them 4mm and put the hub in there rather than cold setting it. Several sites (including Sheldon's) state that it's OK to do this. The bike runs in a straight line with no alignment issues. You (or your LBS) could cold set the frame and make it 130mm permanently. Sheldon has a page on his site devoted to this. Also, if you don't have one already, add a 15mm wrench to your on-the-road toolkit so you can change the rear tire in the event of a flat!
