Building the Surly, I left off around 9pm last night with "just" the cables to connect, watched a bit of telly, went to bed, and was awake again around 5am, so I got stuck in.
I turned the stem upside down to raise the bars and turned the bars around. This could account for it.
I connected both brakes, adjusted tension, clipped and crimped cables, and was admiring my handiwork when the phrase I teach the kids in Safe Cycling whispered into my ear "Don't get left behind!"
I'd connected the brake levers to the wrong brakes! (Right lever to rear brake, left lever to front; very continental!)
The bike is now built (just giving the wheels a polish) and that, I am pleased to say, is the only error to report, and fairly easily fixed.
