Alright, 95% there. Chain will be shortened, but instead of breaking the chain the chain breaker tool snapped. The current spacer under the stem is too tall, will get a shorter one. Need to install some cable ends and I have to fine tune the saddle height and angle.
Then I have to seat tyres properly. Spent well over an hour trying to seat only the front one this evening, but there was always a deep spot. Tried every possible method, soapy water, just soap, massaging it, strapping it etc. nothing worked. I don't have a compressor though, so tomorrow I'll visit the nearest gas station I guess.
Overall really happy how it turned out, but I have no idea how it rides yet.
