I've had a set of Paul MotoBMX brakes on one of my two daily-driver bikes for the last decade or so and they've been fantastic. The bike gets ridden year-round and I've never had to do more than change pad cartridges periodically - the sealed pivots are great for year-round use. Normally I have to pull brakes off and clean and re-grease posts about once a year and at least one brake will seize by then. My other daily / brevet bike has braze-on Racers with Moon Units and a seatpost cable hanger. Slightly industrial aesthetic but great parts.
And that XO-2 is pretty, especially that stem. My Vendetta road bike has a Nitto TFL stem on it that I'm happy just to look at.
