Here are some pictures of the build. Moving the components over from my other bike was completely straightforward. The guides for the brake and shifter housings are great. The rear dropouts made installing the rack and fender really easy.

The only minor issue I had was installing the front derailleur. The seat tube is a fairly small diameter, and I didn’t have a large enough shim, but the LBS came through with this. I left the steerer uncut for now, and will adjust after a few rides.

The rear wheel is more difficult to remove with the horizontal dropouts. It’s a little tight getting around the rear derailleur. Also, the rear fender stays need to be loosened to remove the wheel, but I plan to cut off part of the fender to eliminate that issue.

I rode around the block a couple times to make sure everything works properly. The temps were in the single digits this morning, so I didn’t ride to work. A complete build list and ride reports to follow.
