Love all of this. Is this going to be a velodrome setup? Just saying a 50/15 is going to be a tough gear for the street unless you live in perfectly flat area.
All of your parts seem to be top end so I’m surprised by the choice of chain. I would definitely go with a Izumi Super Toughness (I run the KAI version on all my bikes).
Also, do you have time on a Jaguar stem? It’s a great stem but with B123A’s, you’re not going to enjoy it longer rides. I’ve had Jaguars on a few bikes but have converted everything over to Nitto Pearl. It still looks almost exactly like a Jaguar but just a slightly more relaxed angle.
Makino make great bikes, one of my favorite NJS brands right next to Samson and 3Rensho. Makino and 3Rensho have some interesting history.
