It's a bit of a Catch 22 right now - - some odds-and-ends are going to have to be cannibalized off the Blindside but I couldn't risk disabling it if I couldn't make the Yeti all come together by today. Big rides this weekend - - never and a friend are coming down from Canada for a 'tour of WA' gravity-fest.

Can't install the crank until the chain guide is on (on Blindside); can't install the fork until without the reducer headset lower cup and bearing (Blindside as well). Brakes, cassette, derailleur too. It's a frustration. On the positive: laced the rear wheel night before last and it's at the LBS for tension/true/dish.
