Two of the lugs have had a light coat of thinned epoxy and have come up rather well. Some more sanding, then the clear coat, and these will look great.

Still working on the BB lug. The cable path needed a tidy up and there was a deep groove from the layup that I wanted to fill/patch.

Not pictured, but I've bonded on the drink bottle mounts.

Tomorrow:
- file and sand shape to BB lug
- overall sanding and touchups with the file (a few areas look different now there is a clear coat on them)
- locate the FD mount
- locate and drill pilot holes for cable guides

Later:
- more sanding
- 2 pack polyurethane clear coat. Probably two coats on lugs, one on the tubes.
- screw and glue on cable guides etc
- take to LBS for headset install and BB thread chase

With any luck I'll be done by Monday and riding by the middle of next week.
