We are not quite there yet...
The bike was ordered as a custom less wheels. The bike was supposed to have been assembled with surrogate wheels, checked out, and then shipped. Apparently that didn't happen. I was planning on doing some minor assembly as I eventually would need to do maintenance on it. Today I went to put the RD on only to find that the chain had been cut too short. It also, mysteriously, came with an "upgrade" bottom bracket. I assumed that this was just what they could get during the pandemic. Guess what? The too short chain matches the bottom bracket. It looks like these parts had been taken off another build and the chain was never checked. So now I have to get a new chain to go with the new seatpost clamp... The saga continues...
