I was just discussing the paint, as we're getting That Close. I'm not too worried about it though. Things have been busy elsewhere in life and it's been cold and dark. So I've been indoors hanging out with the family. I also was getting cranky from not being out in my shop working on the Tri-Meridian!
This afternoon I went out for a couple of hours and got the rear brakes installed, and then got the right side hooked up to the lever. The left side.... not so much. Going to have to order another "rear" setup, as the brake kit of course came with one long and one short. But, it brakes and it goes! Later this week will be the setup of the jackshaft and rear wheel derailers. I'm not worrying about the front derailer at the moment.
I also adjusted the bottom seat by putting a piece of angle iron between it and the mount on the front side, angling it up quite a bit. That really helped, and the seat is in a much more comfortable position. I think it'll need more padding and might need to be longer, perhaps a smidge wider. We'll see.
No pictures to share as it got dark at 4:30 :-/
