Bikes: Konas: Jake the Snake-Fire Mountain-Zing Supreme, Dew Deluxe,Zone Ltd. (frame, needs parts), Surly Long Haul Trucker, Santana Arriva tandem, Montagues: Paratrooper-Fit, Trek 1200, Bianchi Ocelot, Fantom Cross Uno, Bridgestone 200

I flushed/lubed the brifters, and while I got them to work, the right one was still a little.... balky. I'll work on them some more, but if anything, they'll go on the old Bridgestone 200 for a retro-mod treatment. I just installed my new Sora levers today. I don't like my bar tape job, though. I'll want to re-wrap that after I've taken Jake for a test ride tomorrow.
The wheels are still off, and I'm probably going to source a rim that looks close enough to the rear (a good 'un, of course), and spokes. In the meantime, the Velocity Chukker wheelset will do, especially as I'm still a bit far into Clyde territory.
New brakes. I stuck with cantis from Tektro.
New cables and housings as well.

The wheels are new, the BB is very low mileage, and the headset is still turning smoothly. The latter will probably get some attention in the near future, though, as a precautionary measure.

These 35c Panaracer Paselas feel pretty darned good, but I have some 28c Gatorskins waiting in the wings. The Paselas will probably moved over to the tandem.
