the decision to go rim brake as well as other design choices like a threaded bottom bracket, 1 1/8″ headset and quick release dropouts also allows for the recycling of classic components which still have plenty of miles in them

I kinda of like the Brother Wooden/ Crust copy and I agree with the quoted text from their website, but aren't 650b qr rim brake wheels quite hard to get?

Edit: just saw this has discussed in the Graff thread

Not really, Pacenti Brevets are excellent.
Rims can be had from sjs, Pacenti, crust, and then hubs and spokes of ones choosing.

I too am liking the Mr Wooden frameset, if I hadn't had Mr Vaz build my pink bike last year I'd certainly be up for one of them.

Yes but I mean you can't get a second hand wheelset for it and have to build something new, which isn't really recycling. If it was 26 or 28" there would be plenty options.
