Great idea
Have you ever posted a picture of your BV (I'd love to see the whole bike)?

No, I haven't. I'll try to do that tomorrow. I'm very pleased with how it came out. A lot of traditional silver and leather plus those dropdead gorgeous fenders made right here in town (available on the web and ebay).

Okay I ran the 650B question by the bike hermit. He said the biggest issue will be the brakes and suggests the Diacompe 750 center pull. This is a long reach brake. We happen to have a customers Soma BV in the shop and he put a 650 rim on to double check before I sent this out to you all.
