Got the next bit thanks to @Elra! Thomson X2 100mm/10° in lovely condition!
Might be a tad too long (aesthetically at least) but I think it still suits it well
The wheels are a tough one. First choice: Mack low flange on 38mm china carbonz. Might not be the best choice for street abuse though.
Second: Mack low flange on Archetypes with 20f/24r. I'm superlightweight (61kg) so it shouldn't be a big deal but I'm still unsure. The wheels will see some pot holes and curbs so a higher spoke count should be the better way. But looks first!
You'll see me in the wheel building thread in the next few months I guess ;)
Biggest downer on this matter: Mack doesn't seem to be available anymore. Their site is down for over 4 straight months now and I really don't know any alternative. DT Swiss maybe?
Anyways, wheels should be the finishing part of this project. I like to buy small bits from time to time than saving up money for 2-3 months ;)
Cheers!
