I ran out of time so I just snapped these this morning before heading out to work. Sorry for the low quality photos.
The star nut as it looked when it came out.
The bike and our messy garage.
The plug. You can see the second stem that I'm using for the handlebar bag.
Kickstand. I had to get it as far forward as I could without hitting the front derailleur. I used some old innertube to help protect the frame.
I re-attached the stays at the mid-fork for the caliper side. It seems pretty sturdy.
