The paint is a lot nicer than I had expected and I cant wait to get going on this thing. My youngest son seems happy about it but not as happy as daddy. Hey PSIMET, what you doing for the next few weeks?? :-)

That almost seems too pretty to take out on trails. I did say almost. :D That should be one sweet looking ride when completed. Keep us posted!

Gotta love Pro Bike Kit. Ordered my components Thursday, came home to a nice big blue bag on the front porch full of Campy stuff. Looks like Psimet's gonna be busy soon.

HAHAHAHAHA! Well I got one week during the off-season when the shop didn't have at least one project in it.
Anyone have any more midnight oil? I seemed to have burned up all of mine. ;)

Beauty eh?
Veloce Ultra Torque compact crank, Chain, 13-26 cassette, Rear and front derailuers and brifters, all in infinite black. Got the campy protons (black) in the mail the other day. Getting close to putting things together. Need a seat post, seat, maybe a new stem, a handlebar and cantilever brakes and various hangers etc..
My wife thinks I'm nuts trying to get the picture just right for you guys. She'll learn at New Glarus what its truly all about.
