That's how I want to go. I don't want to rush into it, but since I found those little rust spots I just want to fix it and prevent any more. So I'm doing powder coating this week. I think I'm going to go with British racing green for the frame, and maybe straight black for the fork and chain guard. I think that will look pretty mean.

With a R-20, the voyage is more than half the fun.

R-20's : Sexy...

I'd go with the 7, primarily because there is no Spectro 8, nor any 8 speed from SRAM. Of course, you could be the first of us to build something with the SRAM iMotion 9....

My mistake. I've been busy checking out all of the different hubs out there i got confused with Shimano and Sturmey Archer.

Easily done. I'm building an R20 around the Shimano Nexus 7 (mostly cos I could get one much cheaper than an 8, now they're last years news).
