After building the Nishiki "Pink Panther" for a friend in 2009, I wanted to next match an internal gear hub (IGH) to a mixte. As a reward for Pat's work on my BART election campaign last year, we shopped for a suitable frame. First we bought a bare 1980 Hi-Ten Nishiki, then a butchered Centurion before settling on a new SOMA Buena Vista frame for a full zoot build with Nexus 8sp IGH and dynamo hub on VO rims. It took months to assemble the components. The Mafac center-pull brakes offer great performance and lend a tip-of-the-hat to "something old."
