I recently bought one of these frames and like yourself have had many dilemmas on how to build it up. I went for the Paul canti brakes option only because i got a good deal on them, Sram s900 brake levers. When it came to rims i was humming and harring for ages in the end went for Archetypes grey ano. I know the anodising will come off after braking but I'm sure ill have to deal with it.
