There's lots I'd redo, and perhaps I will another time. Many mistakes were made, the rear brake housing should probably have come around the fork, the bar tape is icky, the caps HAVE to be replaced, etc, etc. But you know what? I'm pretty proud. Everything is working. And it's not going to be a daily ride anyway. I may strip it all and install hydraulic next fall, and take what I've learned and do better.

An bike, with an chain and an cat!
Final derailleur adjustments, brake adjustments, tightening and bar tape to go!

Last thing for today. Rear derailleur installed, not torqued down yet, and trying to figure out how to measure a chain. Will cut and install it tomorrow I think.

With a lot of help from my brother, shift housing has been run.

First vacation day task done. Handlebars "permanently" attached. Later I hope to run the shift housing and maybe install bottom bracket.

Wheels. Try to install cable routing this weekend perhaps. Everything is only temporarily in place now. Can't lock the handlebars down till I've run the cables and still undecided if I want to buy the L-twoo hydraulic system.

Temporary handlebar and fork placement before cutting the head tube. Need to get a hacksaw this week to do that I guess.

I'm going to update this with a much easier way.
Once you visit a PeerTube channel, you can just copy the handle, come over here and search for it. Then follow it just like any other person.
Thank you to everyone who’s given me a follow. I need to go through and find some more folk to follow myself. I’ll get there. #SocialMedia #follow #LearningasIGo
