Ah that's good to know, any modifications necessary for that or do the modern stops just go right on?

For now I think the barrel adjustor on the RD is going to be enough. I was shocked at how little fussing I had to do with the derailleurs. Just a small adjustment on the limit screws and maybe a 1/2 turn of the barrel adjuster and everything's just peachy.

And thanks for the kind words, everyone. I put about 80 miles on it this weekend and it feels like a brand new bike. I think I might be a bit stretched out but it should be fine for the winter when I'm not typically out for more than 2-3 hours at a time
