Dreaming about building . . .

So, I've started dreaming about building this rando/road bike on a 650b platform.

First - the parts.  I think I'll go with a Sugino XD 600 (Amazon or someplace) in 165 or 170 OR a Sugino XD 2 (from Rivendell).  I like the looks and the gear spread of these two triple cranks. 

I'm interested in bar end shifters for this one - 8 or 9 speed would be fine.  Unless I can find 9 speed shifters I like.

A Tiagra long throw rear der or Alivio perhaps. Front can be whatever I have or find that works well. Accent on works well - not interested in high price/low durability idea.

Velo Orange hammered fenders, of course. Anatomic Bend Rando handlebars from Soma, or similar from Velo Orange. Perhaps a new seatpost - love the fluting on the old one, but I have the seat down far enough that it binds over the fluting and it doesn't show as well. Velo Orange would be good for this. Short stem - 60 or 70 mm - either one I have (and polish it) or one I buy.  Would like a taller stem like a technomic from Nitto. Brooks saddle. Probably Brooks handlebar tape.

Wheels - looking at a Rivendell wheelset that I can put under this thing.  I like the tri-cross spoke arrangments these guys use.  A dynamo hub - probably a sanyo again - good hub. A light - the supernova e3pro2 is what I got last time - like it a lot.

Front and rear rack - maybe Velo Orange or Soma.  Rear - Tubus Cosmo - I think this would be a good rack for this - It's in stainless, which is always nice.

Paint job - haven't decided yet.  So many colors to choose from . . . . .

Of course, this will change as we move forward.  I will probably cheap out on some of it, just because I do that sometimes.
