Ryan you are absolutely right about walking away. I was having lot of trouble setting up the brakes and that was the last thing I needed to do before the first test ride. I took a break and came back to it and now they working pretty well. I got to make my test ride in the dark but it was still fun to get it going. here are some more pics with the brakes on http://www.flickr.com/photos/45895...@n02/?saved=1

My advice would be to take your time and if you run into issues use your resources. I rely on (in no real order); this forum, Sheldon Brown's site, Park tools site for videos and good tech breakdowns of "how tos" and "Zinn and the Art of road bike Maintenance". It can be tough to walk away when you get stuck -to clear your mind (especially when you are so close to the first ride you can taste it) but I have never regretted walking away and coming back later, i am almost always amazed how "easy" the issue that was blocking me is to resolve with a little time away. Looks like a super sweet ride hope you get many miles of smiles RR Abike and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
