Well, the deal went down like it was supposed to. I sold the Kaitai back to the original owner, and picked up my new bike this morning.
Here it is straight from the LBS. Swapped the headlight, computer, and air pump from the old bike to this one. Upgrades are coming. When I get them on, I post up the pics.
At this point I'm happy as can be. Every short ride I have taken starting last evening, and several today have made me like it a little more. Took it for about a 30 min ride this morning before I pulled the trigger. Wound up changing the stem for a 25deg to make it fit my old bones a little better.

I've been steadily transforming my daily commuter into a touring rig and have changed quite a few items from the last time I posted a pic here.
Here's a pic from today's practice ride with around 18 lbs of weight in the pannier.
Changes done....
...also ordering new rear panniers and front handlebar bag within the new few days and off I go on weekend+ credit card tours!

Changes done....
- new wheels (Mavic A719 rims with DT-Champ 2.0 spokes and D3N20 dynohub, Deore LX rear hub)
- trekking handlebars (thanks again fietsbob!)
- shorter gearing for hills under load
- B&M CyoT IQ front light and stock Spanninga rear light running off the dynohub

Hmm... no nameplate (serial number?), a bit fuzzy on the details of it's servicing and no return policy... naaaahhhhh, probably "borrowed" from a "friend"!
IMO items such as the Rohloff shouldn't be bought used (unless you know the previous owner) since the cost of repairing one is too high to risk.
