Finished. Too dark for photos though. Sorry.
Took it for a very brief ride out the front of my house then. Ride well, gears changed nicely and the derailleur was a lot easier to set up than I though. The brakes still need some work. A lot of lever pull for not much braking. I’m using v-brake specific levers with v-brakes, so I’m not sure what’s going on. I plan to upgrade to salmon Kool Stops in the near future so hopefully that will help. Other than that it pretty great. I might ride it to the pub tonight, but I’m a bit hesitant to have a proper maiden voyage in the dark after a few beers.
