Here is Blue, version 1. I will probably switch to an eighth-inch chain so I can use a half link to tighten up the rear wheel position. The dropouts are long enough to get both gears, but a half link would let me keep both positions further forward.
The brake will have to wait because the clamp on my brake lever of choice is too small. I hope we have the 26-millimeter ones in stock at the shop. The ones I got turned out to be 24 mm.
Check out the blue stuff I'd accumulated.
Violent thunderstorms came in like a napalm run this afternoon. It's still pretty wet out there this evening. Maybe I'll get to take a test ride tomorrow.
