A bit of progress on the Hewitt rebuild today - got around to assembling some more of it. Just the cable outers, bar tape and chain left to fit. I thought I could get the cables done but hadn't factored in that I would need a step-down ferrule for the rear derailleur chainstay stop. One (and a spare) should be coming next week so I can get it up and running...

I also got it on the scales - 7.175kg as pictured below. Lighter QRs are coming next week and I might be able to fit some lighter pedals than the ones on it. So once the cable outers are on, bar taped and chain installed the final weight should be around 7.6kg.
