And so, it winches ever slowly, towards being rideable.
The LBS has had it for a week. Thankfully cranks went on fine with satisfyingly Goldilocks clearance to the stays.
Then, the first snag - no bolts to mount the callipers to the frame mounts and they are specific. A quick call to the place where I got them and they put some bolts for the front calliper in the post. But what about the rear? They didn't have any (strange countersunk items, look a bit like an off-road SPD cleat bolt) but offered a slight refund which was appreciated; I've now sorted out some that 'might' work otherwise it will require 'technical innovation' to resolve.
And then the chap who was building it went off sick.
Anticipation palpable, fingers crossed for early next week.....
