Currently reduced to a frame, fork, and parts in a bucket, as well as an unconscionably large number of bits still in transit.
Yesterday was THE day, when all the parts had arrived (except the front wheel, I used a spare), the frame had been treated with Kurust, touched up, and then waxed, and all the tools were at hand:

And of course, I finished after dark, so I haven't had any chance to ride it! That comes later this afternoon.
