I have a Palomar that I absolutely adore. It's a bit crap, weighs a ton, has horrific components on it, but it's mine :) nice to see someone else building one up.
Regarding the brake setup I'd either keep it rim brake, or strip it and get a disc mount brazed on the back. The problem with rim brakes is that you're limited to fairly crappy 2nd hand wheels unless you want to build your own, but equally going the disk route is a lot of faff.
