“Amore a Prima Vista”

[Troyminator]

All together and did my shakedown ride last night... at midnight. Too dark to get any decent photos.

That cable housing is really cool. To me, it looks like you could shorten your chain a bit, Troy. The der should be pulled forward of 90 degrees a bit when you are in the lowest gear (which it looks like you are in the picture). Your shifting will be 'snappier' with a shorter chain. Be fun to see this in the light! And, the bars are yet to be wrapped, right?

Going with a cloth tape?

@OddJob
The derailleur is as far forward as I could get it. I wanted to shorten the chain a link or two but just couldn’t get it to pull forward much further. It’s actually in second gear in the photo so it’s not all the way forward.
And I’m using with brown leather tape to match up with the seat. Need to make some adjustments to the angle of the brake handles, test ride again in the daytime. and then wrap.

Murphy’s Law...
Stripped the threads on the stem’s handlebar cinch bolt.

Back to the spare parts bin. The bolt on this on is about 1/2” too short to swap them so I’m going to try to clean this one up and change them out.

Not sure but do they have Brev markings on them. I’ll check closer when I get home tonight.

They’re Weinmann Brev pads...

This stem doesn’t drop as far, only about half the length of it (without a few hammer whacks), but good to go for now.
