Kestrel's ready to ride!

I finally got the parts to finish the kestrel - other than a few adjustments it's ready to go! I'll be riding it in to work tomorrow.

It's got a sweet old raceface crank, and I put the melvin chain tensioner on it, temporary miss-matched brakes and I'm going to change out the front wheel for a white industries hub when I get around to it. I need to cut off some of the rear brake cable sleeve 'cause it's too long, and probably adjust the handlebars, but at least I can ride it. I had to do some serious painting with black fingernail polish around the crank - someone let some serious chain sucking go on and didn't fix it. Then some polish and it'll be sweet!
