Thanks for this. I'm going to use the Paul Funky Monkey cable stop. It's bling, but this bike is being compromised by time rather than cost. The frameset was free so I'm going to treat it to nice bits - basically stuff I've always fancied having but never have: Phil hubs, Sugino 75s or Campag Pista, Nitto stem and seat post, a fancy caliper brake, bullhorns and for the haters out there, a half link chain and a black denim charge spoon saddle. Yes, denim.
Since this is a bike built up from scratch I don't have existing brakes to measure against. But, there are other steamrollers out there with 650b and Paul Racers.
