Project complete.

First real test ride is in the books. Everything seems to work as it's supposed to. I had to stop mid ride to give the Sturmey Archer hub shifter a bit of an adjustment, but that's to be expected first time out till the cable housings settle into place.
I noticed a bit of a vibration from the front fender on accelleration, and at lower speeds while under power. It is much more noticeable on the video. I guess the camera mike is more sensitive than my ears.
Anyhow, it appears that is the only issue left to deal with. It remains to be seen what kind of range it will get. I'm on the road now for the next week, so hopefully when I get back, I can take my wife to a trail somewhere to give it a good shakedown.
