Finished (sort of)!

The bike is put together (pictures to follow). I taped only the ends of the cowhorn near the brakes (for grip) but am going to wait until I ride a little before taping the extensions in the event I want to adjust the length. I guessed on seatpost height so all of the adjustments may change.
I can only get into 8 of the 9 cogs - the shifter is only clicking 8 times. (I re-read the packaging; it is in fact a Dura Ace 9 speed bar end shifter.) I will look into that more after I ride assuming that I'll need to do more adjusting on brakes and shifters as the set up was all done on a repair stand.
I'm hoping to get in a little test ride later this afternoon and will update and post photos later on.
