Gunnar nearly done!

Well my long-term winter project is nearly complete.  Once I get started building a bike, it's ON!, regardless of my initial intentions.

Everything is on.  Still need to wrap the bars, slap on some pedals and adjust the drivetrain.  Seatpost collar is the wrong size...30.0 and I need a 28.6.  It clamps, mostly, but the collar is all closed up.  The Salsa Lip-Lock is a nice seatpost collar, though!  Detail of the rear triangle:

 

And the front end.  Upon greasing, I noticed the Reynolds brake nut was cracked!  It's on there, just holding the brake in place, but probably not a good idea to actually use the brakes.  Hopefully the local bike shop can set me up.

With our globally-warmed winter going on, I should have plenty of opportunity to ride the new bike in above-freezing weather.  65 degrees after Thanksgiving...it's absurd!
