Bikes: iro mark v 48x16 or 15 i think (fixed), surly 1x1 32x16 (free)
circle a custom.
i'd probably have to try a king headset and some phil wood hubs, too, to see what all the fuss is about, but i'd stick with my velocity deep v rims.

I think I might've just realized 'my' two bikes*...
A very local Witcomb custom frame with 80's Dura Ace groupset, Araya Titaace titanium rims with Dugast silks, alloy Cinelli pista stem and bars.
and/or Condor potenza with Goldtec hubs, Rigida dp18 rims, Deda pista stem and bars, modern Campy everything else.
Sadly, I'd put a Brooks on both...
*which are both far, far, far out of my financial reach!

Well, thanks to Jonnycycles, I've got the frame. (https://www.jonnycycles.com/progress/Sam.html)
now I need to sell stuff to get the parts I want for it, which will cost me more than what the frame cost.
So parts I'm looking at.
Sugino Grand Mighty Cranks
Sugino Gigas ring in 48 tooth
Phil hubs in black (SLR of course)
Velocity rims in yellow (duh)
I haven't decided on a brake yet. Something HOT. And black.
If I can scrape the cash together, a matching Jonnycycles stem would be dope as FnCk.
American Classic post (probably, as I really like my current one, except it's too short)
I used to LOVE bullhorns, but now I think a RaceFace Deus Riser bar would make me happier. I wish they had more sweep
Some kinda flat-bar lever, something from the old-school mountain bike scene if I can find it. Black, of course
Tell ya the truth, I REALLY like the way those dang Whipperman Superduty chains look.
Phil BB
Vittoria yellow/black tires, just 'cuz.
Some Yellow brake housing if I can find it.
King Headset
I want it all SUPER tough, tight as hell, perfectly matching. After all, if you've got something nice, you might as well make it REALLY nice.

I don't know about the rest of the components, but it would definitely have a titanium shell coaster brake hub with ceramic braking surfaces. Gear ratio somewhere in the neighborhood of 100/35.
