Marty, this build is going pretty smooth, except the stupid interrupter brake controls make sizing the cable housings critical. You were almost right about the cables - the derailer cables are plenty long, it's the rear brake that doesn't reach. I'll be stopping on the way home for a tandem brake cable (at College Park Bicycles, best LBS around and local authorized Rivendell dealer (LARD)).
