I'm in Berlin, Kreuzberg, so it's something like a 12k ride to bike-mailorder, are you in Berlin as well?
The frame is currently in customs, so I should hopefully recieve it early next week.
I'm pretty hooked on getting the grey anodized h+son tb14s to be honest. No doubt high-flange (thought about h+son archetypes) would look good. I'm just thinking that the tb14s would be more versatile if I sometime in the future decide to use them for another build. It seems you can stick them (goes for any dark box section rim I guess) on almost anything from classic steel to alu frames and they look good. I also think the braking surface doesn't look as strange when it gets worn on a box rim, because there's no unworn material right next to it, so it isn't as obvious.
Gumwalls definitely sound nice, seems like the Paselas are pretty highly rated. Does anyone have any experience with the puncture protection on those? Currently running Re-fuses which I'm very happy with, haven't had a puncture yet.
