Exactly my strategy. I lined the fork crown first. A little shaky. That when I decided to assemble the bike and live with it before adding more. Same for the decals (that was a cost decision). I do have to attach the headbadge though, that's not optional!

I trust that you've installed those herkin big wheel reflectors cuz you'll be riding after dark, safety feature...
Or so the theory goes. My commute home features busy traffic. Right now, in March, the sky is still dark enough to warrant the extra visibility. Theoretically. The fact that I still haven't commuted on this bike yet is irrelevant. There's good probability that I'll ACTUALLY commute when daylight is still quite bright. I'll reconsider the reflectors over time.

Good catch. Some things I'm good about researching, others not so much.
