Well, it's been a long time but I am making progress. Spent most of yesterday evening installing components, then took it for a short test ride this morning (before our tandem ride). It was awesome!

First, the nearly complete bike. The water bottle was borrowed from the black Bianchi. I have spiffy 23mm tires but threw on these 25mm Paselas just to get it finished. The bar will be wrapped with black cloth and will probably have yellow anodized end plugs. The saddle is the Unicanitor and will probably stay. It needs a frame pump and will probably carry a Jandd seat post bag.



Here's the drivetrain.



Finally, a tilted view of some bling, thanks to Henry III.
