Thanks guys! It's a blast to ride, though I only got about 5 miles in last night after finishing it up before it got dark. In regards to the brake pads, I actually have a set of Ultegra pads i bought for this bike originally before I decided to do the full rebuild, and I intended to put them on last night while finishing up but I'd have to dig in the closet and I was just too eager to ride. They'll be going on tonight so I can take this up into Marin this weekend!
