For the being of time sticking with the belt drive ( but I do like the chain conversion that i have seen on the site).

Understand the $$ limitations. I think all of us have ran into that a time or 20.
Looking at the rims you already have done has me wishing I had done mine when I had the frame and fenders done. Can't wait to see the finished product on those wheels.
How time consuming to you think it will be getting all the spokes back in right. Never tried it myself, would even touch them on a bike as a kid. But I'd love to clean mine up, darn near impossible to get 23 years of crud off them while they are installed.

I have Most everything else black so why not. Great job so far though!!!
