Thanks guys!
@adrevporn the paint is car lacquer, nice and thin, done by a pro, so no problem with brake bosses.
I'm going fixed with front v brake. I have a pair of Avid Single Digit 7. Should be ok. Rear wheel will be mavic rim with XT 756 hub and I will use disc cogs. It will give me the perfect chainline with the crankset and BB that I already have. I will just change the axle for a longer and solid one and use track nuts instead of QR.
Due to chainstays and clearances, there is no other option than to go with hubs that give 50+ mm chainline. Especially with bigger chainrings. I have a 45t one.
