Thanks Thor, Russ, vik, lucille, Dave & Dyno.
I know this pales in comparison to what you guys/gals can do. However, this was my first redo and I definitely learned what not to do as well as what I should do.

Btw the 2 reflectors on the front wheel aren't symmetrical, you'll have to start over
DOH!!! I just noticed that I had two in the front and only one in the back. Never fear the new ones I'm installing will be symmetrical.

I've tried a number of different positions for the brake levers. I originally had the levers next to the grips but found them uncomfortable since the lever of a previous shifter kept pressing into the space between my thumb and 2nd finger.
However, I got rid of that shifter (wasn't compatible with the SA hub- mistake #1) and got an SA shifter, which seems to have a shorter lever. Hhhhmmmm worth repositioning since I did change the shifter.
