My Nimbus 36
This thread has perfect timing! I too just finished “finalizing” (for the time being :)) my N36.
I went with Bell’s “EZ Fit” speedo (it’s a wired version) since it only costs $7.50 (US) at Wal-Mart, so if I destroy it I won’t shed any tears. It’s got a small bell from REI, which silentspoon appreciated as we rode some crowded paths in Denver last weekend. I just finished the installation of the brakes, and haven’t taken it out after that install yet. I cut about 1 cm off the tip of the brake handle and canted the whole assembly in so it doesn’t hit the ground before the handlebars/seat/wheel/pedals do (the “envelope of protection” those components supply).
I’m really happy with the routing of the brake cable, it tucks in nicely under the seat and won’t be subjected to impact since it’s entirely within the protection envelope. The little saddlebag on the back is a medium Cannondale Seedpod (http://www.cannondale.com/accessories/06/model-6B501.html) and contains a b*ke lock and a small tool.
I really like riding a big wheel!
