Hi everyone, its been while since Ive updated this but things are coming along. I posted elsewhere but I'll add it here as well, Im having a couple issues Im wondering if anyone can help out with. Things are coming along pretty well, Ive got it mocked up with placeholder tires and seat I had sitting around.

First, Im am having trouble figuring out how to set up the reverse pull brake lever. There is no clearance for the cable in the front of the lever but there is a hole on the inside. Im guessing this is internally routed? My understanding is that if thats the case you need to drill out the handlebar for the cable to exit which is not something Id like to do. If thats the case I'll have to switch it out. Im trying to use as many of the parts that my friend had intended to use but there have had to be a couple of compromises and this may be another.

With regard to the bottom bracket, Ive converted the one piece crank the three pieces with Press fit sealed bearings. I think the chain line looks pretty good and the wheel is centered but there is a bit of excess spindle on the non drive side. The crank is seated, do you think this is a problem? Thanks!
