I may have chickened out a touch, but I got the headset properly seated and the BB in today, but was this close to getting the drill to the bike and couldn’t make myself do it. Instead I’ve chosen to order a pair of nutted Tektro RL539s from SJS, along with a new seatpost bolt and horizontal dropouts bolts that I needed anyway. So - we won’t get to see the results of my drastic bike surgery and the build is delayed until those parts arrive, but the fork crown remains intact and I’ll have some frame-appropriate brakes to suit!
Along with fitting my lovely new-old Spa cranks and BDHUing the levers, this build marches along briskly!
