I had gotten out some rubber donuts to put on the exposed part of the rear brake cable but had forgotten to put them on. Fixed that and she's running pretty silent now. Out of curiousity I weighed it with the full box of bar tape and it came in a 19 lbs 8 ozs. That's respectable. I'll do the tape tomorrow and also decide if I'm leaving the white bottle cages or going with black ones. These white ones don't match the paint so it's bugging me a bit.

As it is now waiting on the bar tape.



Love the thunderbirds on it!
