And i"m done for the night... 0100 :)  Got the front fender, rack and light 
installed (not wired up yet).  The chain and crankset almost broke my 
spirit.  You need a second donor chain to make the extra long connection 
which I knew but had forgotten.  Amazingly my parts bin yielded enough of a 
second SRAM 830 chain for me to make it work, then it was the tedious 
process of getting the tension right. I think it could still do with a link 
or two more removed but I'll get some riding in before I commit.  I managed 
to make an old Deore crank work b y removing the granny ring which gave it 
the chainstay clearance... I'm running it 1x8 with the 46T in front for 
now.  34T big ring in the back still gives a pretty effective bailout.


The odd-ness on the handlebars is a wacky bird themed bell and coffee cup 
holder.


I've only gone around the block but I like the bike, very smooth and cush. 
 Between the frame geo, the plump tires and the sprung, wide leather seat 
this is a comfy ride.  I'm also impressed with how well it fits me at 
90pbh/6'.  I hope Erika is as comfortable.


Probably won't get to do much tomorrow though I would love to get the rear 
fender done.  We'll see.
