Thank you all for your recommendations (and the private messages). Strangely enough, even before I checked this I wandered upon Bicycle Habitat and talked to a nice guy named Eric. They are going to help me, and better yet, the mechanic is going to show me how to adjust everything properly--I have most of the parts installed but haven't cabled it up or attempted to adjust the chainline, etc. Regarding the fenders and rack (to the person who sent me the PM) I agree that it's pretty self-explanatory how they go on, but given that I live in NYC and no longer have a proper workshop, the word "hacksaw" in the rack instructions convinced me that this probably isn't a kitchen table project. At least not if I want it done well.
Thanks again! I'll let you know how it comes out, and of course pictures will be coming on Cyclofiend's website, if he sees fit to publish.
