Hi Mike,
Thanks a bunch for your quick and detailed reply, definitely useful. I will try to find an Excel rim in Hanoi. The shop I used to go proposed me two different rims already. One is a Japanese second hand (I do not know the brand though), but it still looks very straight, and the other one is new but made in China. The owner advised to go for the Japanese one. I think I'll go for the Japanese one, although I am bit afraid of buying a second hand rim.
For the rear tyre, I'll probably stick to the TKC 80 150/70 B17. I like the design better, and according to the review I found on the Internet, it behaves very well on tarmac roads, which is my daily bread...
I have contacted Bas at Hyperpro for the rear shock. Let's see if he can come up with a proposition. The tricky thing is that sometimes I am driving with a passenger, and I want the seat to be comfortable for her too, so might not be easy to properly define the specs and use I need for the rear shock. Anyway, I'll keep you updated, thanks again for the advises.
Cheers,
Brice
