I've been trying to get to the point where I can braze on my cable stops to route cables, but I realized I need to mount all the levers, calipers and derailleurs before doing so. That's when I found that the cantilever bosses for the rear triangle were drilled with only one set of spring holes, and they weren't positioned right for the v-brake I bought, even if I did tighten the spring stop screw. So I drilled an extra set of holes and they work fine.

I decided not to reuse the hinged handlebar riser I made for my tandem. It was just too crude and heavy. The one shown below is made from one of the $1 stems I got from the Seattle Bike Swap Meet, a small piece of bookshelf railing (the piece with channel shaped piece with the slots), pieces of dropouts from a BMX bike, and a top tube from the Bianchi mountain bike I've been cannibalizing.

And folded down to the front for mounting and dismounting the bike.
