• Finally made some more progress this week, albeit not much. Installed one water bottle cage. The seat tube one might interfere with the front derailleur, so I didn't bother. It's not a real issue anyway. Rear derailleur and chain went on. The chain should be long enough. Also installed the brakes. I haven't been able to connect the shifters and brakes yet as I'm waiting for the stem to come in the post. Hopefully it's delivered today (EDIT: It's waiting for me at home). Ended up getting a secondhand 85mm long Nitto UI-5EX stem. Once I have that, I'll be able to put the bars on and cable it up. The stem looks like this:

    And it also looks like it says "UI SEX", which is kinda funny.
