Sweet Ride!
When I set up my first long haul tour bike back in the mid 70's I had a hard time deciding between a Dawes and a Bob Jackson. I bought the Jackson and had it stolen a few months later. Finally 30 some years later I have a Galaxy frame set.
Follow the advice of some of the previous posts, Sheldon Brown's website will be invaluable as well as the Park Tool site. The key to making adjustments is to take it easy, only turn set screws a quarter turn at a time and remember which way you turned them.
