Heh.
I wonder if I'm ever gonna get this build together. The bars and tape came in, I bought another set of barcons (grrr), and I got everything laid out to start working....
Then I found that one of my brake levers was missing an interior stop for the cable housing. And the FD (that I thought was a top swing and wasn't) wasn't going to work.
No problem....I'll cannibalize the levers and FD from one of the builds I did that was too small....my chain tool is in the van (at the mechanic's shop).
After putting away the partially disassembled / assembled bikes and the tools I'd killed several hours, and retired to the comfort of the AC in the house, muttering dire imprecations with a black cloud floating over my head.
It'll take me awhile to regroup.
I wonder if this build was meant to be...
