Well, I’m one step closer to getting this bike built. I finally had everything I needed to get the fork put on the frame yesterday (frame, fork, headset, and stem). Had the guys at One-on-One press the headset for me. Hopefully that will be the only part of the build that I won’t be doing myself (except the wheel building – Universal Cycles is doing that). Personally, I find it far more satisfying to be able to do at least the majority of the bike building myself. I think it’s because it helps make the bike feel more like it’s really mine. My creation, my sweat, all that good stuff. Anyway…
So I’ve got the frame, fork, headset and stem put together. Already have the seatpost and chainring. I think I’m just going to use the cranks off my bauer (Sugino BTs). Should be getting my disc brakes, cog and bottom bracket today. Won’t be do anything until after the weekend though. Laura and I are heading down to KS for Shad and Lauren’s wedding party. Should be seeing some posts on that soon.
Finally starting to look like a bike.
