Ok a little more work done and looking for some advice too…

I finally got the chain length figured out and derailleurs tuned. The wheelset I put on (taken from a donor bike) has a 28 in the back which I understand from reading posts here can work with this nuovo record derailleur just needs a short chain. So I started conservative and took off one full link at a time and maybe did that three or four times, testing each time to see if it would work. I landed on this length. Any longer and it’s too long on the small/small. Unfortunately it’s too short at this length to go into the big/big but I’m not too worried about that as I don’t see myself using that? I don’t know, feel free to tell me if you think I’m wrong!

My next step was brakes. I put on 105 calipers and levers from yet another donor bike and adjusted the pads to hit the rim.

Now for the advice needed: Brake housing. I tried white but it didn’t quite look right to me even though I really thought it would. So then I tried grey/silver and also blue….. and now I can’t decide which one looks best 😂 what do you think?
