Good part first!
It’s called Jet Jaguar. Thanks, R!
I went over these cable stops with Scotchbrite (distinct from Scotchlite, the tape) to make them matte. I also brushed the knobs.
It took me forever to confirm that you can do this. You can. That’s a Tektro “cyclocross” inline lever with a bar-end shifter.
It’s not your project unless you bust your thumbnail!
Wrapper’s paradise.
Finally putting on the shifter.
I took it out for a spin today. I’m very happy about it. It’s got a pretty aero position, which is just what I want, I think. It’s pretty short and hoppy. The brakes were a litty rubby, but things are pretty much ironed out now. Nine speeds on a single ring is a bit much (and noisy in the lowest gear), but it works niclely anyway. It’s geard pretty high, but I really like the ass-hauling.

Beauty.
My apologies on implying you didn’t know Jet Jaguar. I LOVE this genre, but had only figured out who he was recently. Thanks, MF DOOM!
Really nice looking bike. Your best yet, I think.
