What I ordered:
Remaining work to be done before I can test ride it:
- Braze in the weld nut to hold the idler mount. I wasn't planning on doing this but I can't find a bolt with enough threading on it to mount it as I wished without cutting the threads myself. It's less hassle to braze in the nut.
- Braze on the cable stops. At a minimum I need the one for the front derailleur. I also may put on one to allow me to use a cantilever brake. Still undecided on that. I probably won't bother putting any on otherwise at first and just run full-length housing. I may change my mind on that after the test ride but we'll see.
- Make a mounting plate for the U-brake
- Clean the chain I'm using (lightly used chain)
- Assemble the thing.
- Final decision about any braze-ons
- paint the frame
- any final seat trimming
- paint the seat
- polish anything that needs it
- Fix any problems revealed from the test rides
- re-assemble
