Reminder the Habanero has external cables. Running Di2 with zip-ties and external battery can be done but is fugly. Will get next-generation Di2 if wireless or next-generation cable shift group in 1-2 years. I have a few RD cables on the pegboard to last until then.

I guess it's been a while since I've had a Full Sail, don't remember this helpful hint on the caps.

Although technically, if you do it right you only need one tool.

Kurust arrived Monday, so yesterday I hit all the rust spots on Mrs. Peel with it. When it turned black, and dried out, I did the touch-up painting. This morning, I waxed the frame. The only thing missing now is the wheel, now somewhere between the USPS Distribution Center on Lawn Guy Land and California.
So, it's THE DAY!!!!

Oh, and on the ride today, I saw this little guy taking his plastic shovel out for a walk. I'm thinking that an intervention might be in order, lest we find ourselves with another DougRNS on our hands.

Brake pads came yesterday, new tires today. Contador will be back on the road with both sets of wheels.

I figure plan B may be being fitted for a pirate eye patch. 
BTW, I had a vitrectomy and laser work on my right eye 10 years ago but it was at the edge of my vision. The bleeding in my left eye this time is central.
Sadly, there is signs of minor leakage in my right eye again.

RIP Prince. It's been 5 years since he passed. A local station played Prince all day, which made for some nice motoring to the trailhead and to my favourite coffee shop.

Done!
Ran into a couple snags along the way. This is only the second time I've rebuilt a bike with a cup-and-cone BB. Once both cranks were in place and screwed down, I could feel the SLIGHTEST play. I ended up loosening the lock ring, and using a screwdriver in one holes in the adjustable cup to tighten it up just a bit, then retightened the lockring. So far, so good.
When I got to the point of cabling the derailleurs, I ran into two issues. The first was that no matter what I did, the chain was rubbing on the big ring, which is amazing because the opening is ENORMOUS! I eventually realized the chainring was wobbling. I thought, "Chainring's bent!", so I tried a 53 tooth ring I took off the Ritchey. Same thing. Uh-oh. Luckily, I had bought another set of cranks after I stripped the threads out of the NDS crank that came with it. Because they were in better condition, I was using the ones I'd bought. So, I removed the DS crank, moved the chainrings to the original crank, and put it on. That fixed it! I can only assume the other crank spider is some how bent or warped.
Then I couldn't get the rear derailleur adjusted quite right. So I checked the alignment and of course it was bent! I put THAT back in order and it got much quieter! Success!
Then the brakes. Lordy. It took me most of an hour to set up the brakes. I THINK they're right now. I hadn't ever set up a bike with non-aero cables, so THAT took a bit of care and fiddling - measure twice, cut once.
And of course, by the time I was finished, it was dark. No ride today. Poop.
