Need Shimano brake/lever advice...please

Hello All:

I am planning a new build that will probably use new Shimano 105 calipers. As a matter of aesthetics, I would like to use the older Shimano 600 EX levers, possibly even without hoods. ...

I can't speak much for fixed because I haven't really given it a fair shot (I plan to though), but once I experienced single-speed on my Felt, I realized that it met my needs 95% of the time without...

I'm soaking it in like a sponge so please keep it coming. Right now, the Wabi is as strong a contender as ever, but I'm giving vintage and possibly even custom a fair look. Unfortunately, I'm...

Thank you for that. A sloping top tube in my size would have taken the Bianchi Pista out of the running as I like it largely for the vintage look. As it is, it took awhile for me to come to terms...
