one question, i was gonna run straight bars on this, has anyone had any experience of short front brake cables when running to a center pull style break?
The cable run will be no worse than a modern cyclocross bike, but if it were mine I'd still put Tektro dual pivot callipers on it. Just make sure you get levers designed for road brakes, as MTB levers for V-brakes don't combine well with road callipers.
