With regard to the comfort (or otherwise) of your first 10 mile ride.
Two things spring to mind.
One, as mentioned above, you will take a little while to adjust to being on a bike without it hurting.
Two, those Brooks saddles are generally understood to have a 300 mile +/- break-in period. Once it is broken in, there'll be nothing to touch it for comfort though.
Though it has to be said, if it's massively uncomfortable on Day one, it's not going to get much better 300 miles' later.
Great build thread though. Can't believe you've done so much in so little time.
