Progress made!
It is now a rideable bike, although it is yet to be truly tested and there are several issues. Something is not quite right with the rear mech - it does not seem to take up the slack from the chain on the smallest cogs and the chain just slips if I shift onto this gears. Just looking at the pictures something seems to not be 100% right...this may not be an issue for a very flat commute, but will need to be looked into. The cantis work fine, but they're a faff to dial in so there's a bit of judder. For now the front mech is just there as a chain guide.
I have a sense I'll need to tweak my fit on it as well, primarily in terms of reach.
But even with all these caveats, the 5 min test ride was quite fun!
