Suggested tyres are fine. I understand the aesthetic arguments, and have been a big proponent of period correct builds etc. However, I want to ride it and enjoy it, and frankly many "classic groupsets" are less than satisfactory when actually ridden, I tend to find the thrill wears off pretty rapidly.
Also the braze ons are for 5 speed only (single down tube boss and cable guides). I think I'm leaning towards 3 speed hub, classic record cranks etc.
