Rooster's getting ready to crow
Doing the final tweaks. Just need a water bottle cage and tape. I'm not happy with the tape on there. I have some new on the way.

When you retape the bars that type of bar end cap loads first, then the tape starts and wraps toward the top.
‘back then, there were a few ways to continue, remove the lever body and wrap the tape around the bar clamp was a favorite way, then with a leather gloved hand, take a lighter and heat the tape end and the last bit under the bar near the stem, a deft quick press and pull the tape with the leather glove to protect your hand from the heat to seal the tape closed. Very Pro mechanic.

Hard to imagine, but it might be even more beautiful in person!
Any particular rides planned for the bike this year? Maybe Eroica in September?
Sure to win an award.

Frame's and gearing are too tall for me. 
I really like what you have done with it.
