Truthfully you could probably use it already (there were a lot of tracks) if you don't mind getting a little muddy.
About the brakes though, I dunno about the hoods because....I actually don't have the bike yet. But since I have this love affair with lugs and not a hell of a lot of money I know that anything I find will probably need the upgrade, so I'm planning ahead. Will you still have them in a few weeks?
Whenever you need them, drop me a PM. I also have a lugged Raleigh Super Course MKII frame (and many of its parts- including wheels) sitting in my basement. It is quite small, and I am quite big so it isn't of much use to me. The main triangle is 531. If you are on the short side, drop me line.
Good to hear about the trail getting closer to done.
