Since it's not really a project, but is basically done, I figured I'd just post it here.

I realise the chain is slack, however I can't move the wheel further back in the dropouts. If I take out a link the wheel sits just on the edge of the dropout, which is kind of disconcerting. I figure if I just ride it for a bit the chain will hopefully stretch and I can take out a link and everyting will fit. Do I have any other options apart from getting a half-link chain?
There are two brakes on there since the lovely Berlin police require 2 brakes (they'll take your bike if you only have one) and the frame has the little things (what are those called?) for the brake cable on the top tube, so it would look kind of silly without a rear brake.
