I guess they really should be.
Also, @Josh absolutely right on the chain. Swapped it for one 4 links longer and it's much happier. Still need to try and properly index the rear derailleur, which is about as fun as pulling teeth.

Very impressed with the brakes so far. Easy to set up (provided you have three arms, a third hand or some cable ties) and excellent stopping power. To say nothing of having coincidentally been delivered with Kool Stop pads that match the frame.
Front brake sorted this morning. Ummed and aahhhed about bar tape and lights, but concluded I didn't have the time, so instead settled for pedals and saddle and a very short spin down the road.
Looking forward to getting it finished and out for a spin. Any minor concerns I had about sizing have, thankfully, been allayed.
