Bikes: Lots of English 3-speeds, a couple of old road bikes, 3 mountain bikes, 1 hybrid, and a couple of mash-ups

I think that I am nearly finished.

Today:
Added a rear brake
Replaced the front brake to match the rear
Replaced the external cam skewers with vintage Suntour internal cam skewers - looks much better
Replaced the 26.8 seatpost with a 27.0 (still need to find a 27.2)
Took a short test ride - the wind is fierce and debris on the streets

Need To:
Crimp cable ends
Final bar wrap (I bought a 500' roll of 1" binding tape from Blind Industries & Services a few years ago, and use it as a test wrap for bars and as an underlayment. It is a bit too wide for tight bends, so no good for a finish tape)
