Dude. This is beautiful. And funny enough I’m doing the same thing with an ‘86 Raleigh Technium. Will post soon. A lot of 600 parts coming in. If I can ask, was it a 27” or 700c to start, and did you find any issues besides brake reach by going 650b?
Mmmmm… shiny stuff. Are the brakes going to reach? What is your tire width and estimated clearance?
