This is very close to what I would commission if I were in the market (could afford) a custom randonneuse.
Especially the brazed on centre pulls which look so cool and work really well.
I don't really understand disk brakes on bikes where the non carbon rims are going to stay mostly dry. The wheel is already a 26" rotor and transferring the braking forces to the hub area means heftier forks and I'd have thought more fatigue to spokes.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
