Almost there now, had to take her to the LBS to get the brakes set up properly, and they showed me that the rear wheel needed to be re-dished, which at least explains why I was having so much trouble with the brakes.
Also the Dia Compe levers had to be altered with a pair of pliers to get the clamps onto the bars, and didn't come with those wide non-aero type ferrules, which was confusing to someone who's only done aero levers before.
Picking her up after work today, hopefully finished and ready to give to my girlfriend!
Photos soon...
