I'm looking at getting:
- Wheelset Velocity B43's in bright silver, radial laced front
- Shimano SF-1200 Freewheel 18 tooth for 1/8" chain
- Shimano Dura Ace Track Cog 16 tooth for 1/8" chain
- Shimano Dura Ace NJS Track Cog Lockring
- KMC Gold Track Chain 1/8"
All up, including postage, it's will to cost about $350. I'm going to source handle bars and head set from a local store. I will also use an existing crankset, brakes, saddle and stem but will be looking to upgrade as the wallet permits. Wiggle has a pair for about of Miche brakes for $28 that seem to be alright, from what I've read about them. Any suggestions for some good websites?
I also got my b43s from Ben at velomine. Got him to build them up on miche primato hubs in a radial front and 3cross rear pattern and was really happy with the result.

Only had a few on my crappy point and shoot and will post them below for those of you who are interested. Other than that, bike is pretty much finished. Just need to reupholster the saddle and make some leather grips and toe straps. All in good time.
