All done . . . for now
and loving the ride.

Got a few plans - I'm a Hope fangirl so papadirt can have his Hayes back once funds allow
- no rush to fit a front brake though. My magic gear ratio plan didn't work (mainly because I'm reluctant to ditch that lovely orange ring) so I'm using an old cheap-ass mech as a tensioner for now - running 32/14 which feels spot on (32/15 could possibly work with a half link but may be a little low). A few problems to iron out as my rear cog is too thick for a 9 speed chain and my singlespeed chain is skipping a little on the jockey wheels (although it fits the old 5 speed mech fine). The paper/vinyl decals can stay until they wear out.
Yes, it's tiny
