I finally bought a bunch of seat post shims so now I can make a 26.0 seat post fit, and went to OBI and got an M5 tap and cleaned out most go the threads and got the front rack mounted. I ordered a rack mounting kit last weekend that'll hopefully be here next week so I can get the rear rack mounted and put the daily panniers on the back where I prefer them. Tonight I'll order some VO aluminum fenders and hopefully I can get those mounted before the end of the month.

Last weekend I was doing some late night eBay scanning and got some 10 speed Centaur ergos, those will wait until winter when I pull it form the road so not the question is. I'm not in love with the threaded headset on this bike because the tubing is fairly large so do I inni it and run threadless or keep it the way Bruce built it and run threaded. I know micro adjustments of the threaded are nice and that's a technomic so it's pretty far into the steerer tube so strength and flex are not a thing, but that stem seems "wrong" on such a big tubed bike..

Welcome to my little build thread
