was finally able to get the bike from the LBS today. he did the front brake pretty nicely, rear one is passable, but feels a bit less sturdy than the front. got some work done too. bedded the brakes in this heat this afternoon! put on 3 water bottle cages, pump mount and adapter under the BB for the tool case (although in this position the case ended up interfering with the small ring chain line):
so moved it all the way up, only to end with the case slightly too close to the front wheel for comfort (but it splits into two and the upper part could not actually take anything much useful so I ended only using the bottom part and getting a lot of clearance - not shown):
finally did the first weighing too:
so as you see it here it weighs........
considering it's got tubes for now, low end pedals on the heavy side, and very heavy saddle, there's some room for cutting weight, but I'm satisfied overall in that regard. still have to dial in the minute lever position, wrap the bartape, mount front light, and check if it will fit in my current rinko bag or not. so next weekend should be a new bike day, even if I don't take it into some wilderness right away, but stay on tarmac etc.
