for your back wheel id say go with the macneil casette wheel
and for the back tire odyssey k-lyte foldable kevalar beaded tire.
everything else seems solid
But id say go with the macneil conjoined cranks
and your missing a chain,
Id go for the shadow conspiracy half link v2

rear wheel i would say primo i don't have one but i never hear anything bad about the primo rims or the primo hubs and the back tire depends wht you wanna ride a fit faf is always a good option or an animal tire

please don't get a macneil hub...
honestly if you do any grinding, it will be impossible to get spokes out. I've seen it happen too many times.

for a rear hub, I'd say profile. I ride one and it's the only thing I'd ever ride. but they do tend to get a wobble in them from time to time, and if your not comfortable taking you hub apart I would not get it.

I think the primo mix would be perfect. They're great hubs, good engagment, and from what i've heard they've had no bearing problems...

Dude sorry hes right about the macneil hub. But everyone says with 23 8 gearing (primo) there chain snaps fast. so yeah id go with profile hub

why not just go with the 1664 cranks? everyone says 1664 sucks, but the cranks are lighter than the conjoined's, and i havent had a problem with them yet. plus they are cheap.

I would suggest an Animal GLH tire for the rear. I have them and they are great. They have knurled sidewalls to protect against grinds.

oh, and the cranks...Thumbs Down
please just get some standard 48 spline tubular cranks.

hollowbites tend to strip at the pedal insert. since the insert is steel and the arm is aluminum when you crank your pedals then go to take them off the insert can't take the pressure of being cranked off. that's when the steel insert starts to spin and your pedal won't come off. from there it slowly starts to wiggle and strip more, until your pedal is loose and the insert falls out.
