But I have this almost done to keep me happy for now. Just need to install brakes, chain, route the cables, and get some more headtube spacers until I decide how low I want the stem before cutting. Super pleased with how this is turning out so far though.

My riding lately, since wrenching my knee a few weeks ago, has been limited to this. If I'm walking around at all, flats. This our "commuter" to the park.

Didn't last long - I saw a 2014 Marin Lombard Cyclocross bike for sale for a heck of a good deal - $500 off it's MSRP. Brand new. My size. I've been thinking about getting a bike like this for daily commuting, winter riding, rough road riding - etc. Basically any sort of stuff where my road bike would have a tough time, but where my mountain bike would be over-kill. So I ended up walking out with it.
I've ridden it about 100 km so far. And it's been brilliant. Took it on some rough gravel, a little grass, and a bunch of bad roads. Ate it up wonderfully. At the same time it's quick and agile on well paved roads. Sort of feels like the Subaru of bikes. You can't take it where you'd take a Jeep. And you can't fling it around like a Miata. But for day to day driving in all weather conditions, on all roads, it's perfect.
