Good looking bike!

Two things jump out at me that you might want to review.

One, the speedo cable wants to run outside the fender strut (from the hub to the retainer loop) to help keep it off the tire. And two, the axle clamp (underside of the fork clamp) pictures on the right is backwards. The gap goes to the rear. Might check the left side too.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
