Progress report...
I got the long brackets for the rack that holds the seat, which moved it a few inches back, a big improvement for both me and kiddo.
I swapped saddles with SWMBO's Rivendell stepthrough. She wanted a padded saddle, I didn't. So now it has a nice short wide unsprung Brooks.
After a solid ride on Weds night to get kiddo from day care, I was getting a lot of clunking and squealing from the drivetrain. I spent some time tonight going over it. The back wheel was a potato chip, I trued it up and evened it out. Finally got to use the Park spoke tension meter I'd gotten for Christmas 2014. The wheel was out of center in the frame too, which was making the belt squeak against the side of the pulleys.
SWMBO and I spent fifteen minutes around midnight putting stickers on it. Some from NAHBS (sort of laughable) and some from a Star Wars sticker book. Where's Rey? Well, she is right there on the down tube. (photos soon)
We should be good for a long haul now without any trouble, touch wood.
