Custom Oak Cycles 650B French Randonneur Project.

Ooh, I would definitely like to see this...
I was just pondering this yesterday -there's a coincidence.
I'm thinking of a dynamo hub for my city bike and although I've always admired the Schmidt hubs it'd be overkill for a town bike.
Although I could justify it if the wheel did double service on a randonneur bike, which I don't yet have.
Custom drop-outs would be nice so I wouldn't have to faff around with wires....
:-)

Are the new shimano ones any good?

PMed

And from that article and what I've heard, the shimano hub does fairly well when compared with Schmidt and the likes.
Older versions of the shimano dynamo hub I've heard anecdotally have a significant,noticable drag, which is absolutely fine for a town bike, but you may end up resenting when tired and pushing to make that next checkpoint on a long randoneé.

P.s. Ed when do we get to hear more info on this?? :p
