New internal gear track frame project
I just ordered this steel track/ss frame:
Using these bars and levers - and internal hub
I don't know if the levers will work with the brake levers or if I'll need caliphers front and back. I'm also considering a drum brake/generator front hub.
I picked up the yellow GP 4000 700x25c tires from bonktown.com.

You know what we are waiting for- but I reckon it will be good.

That is much more practical than a fixed gear. (If you ever want to try fixed, maybe the new version of the old Sturmey-Archer 3-speed fixed gear hub will be out by then.)

The problem now is getting the wheels built, and the right BB, and caliper brakes, etc. The decals are supposed to come off - so basic black frame. I'm considering either a Sun M13II box polished silver rim or a semi-aero black rim with machined sides.

Leave part of the decals on- Leave something like "CAT TE". then it will be like my dream Hardtail frame. Never ridden one but I know it is good. Made by Roberts- one of the best custom builders in the UK and it is called the "DGS BLX"

I've been riding my Cannondale Capo with a SRAM T3 hub for the last two years. Wonderful machine.
I'm not a particular fan of coaster brakes, but they're okay if you also have a front caliper brake.
Enjoy your bike,
