Slowly getting the 700 put together tonight. I've cut the cable housing but have yet to cut and adjust the cables. Temporarily half installed the tires on the wheels and slapped a saddle on it just to see what it looks like as a whole bike. With a little luck (aka, it continues to rain so I don't have to work the yard), I'll have it to a stage to give it a brief shake down cruise before the end of the weekend. There's a new KMC Z72 chain waiting to be installed along with a set of Shimano PD-R540 pedals that I scrounged from the local co-op. I hope to wrap the bars with black and grey cloth tape in harlequin pattern which I think will give it a neat retro look. Looking at the pic, it appears that I might have to lower those brakes hoods a little!
