Bikes: Raleigh 12sp road, Specialized Hard Rock MTB, 1977 Schwinn Hurricane 5-speed

Heck of a learning experience so far...started out with my 1990 Raleigh 12spd Reynolds chrmolly frame and decided to upgrade. Picked up Schimano 105 triple crank & BB, 105 rear derailleur, sram 9 sp cassette, sram rival brakes, all new jagwire cables. BUT then I saw the Schwinn frame on ebay, decided to go the aluminum route. Neglected to make note of the 1" head tube --- Now have all the above, as well as Ritchey handlebar, with shimano bar end shifters, TWO different 1 1/8" headsets, and the carbon fork (1-1/8") due in tomorrow. Really don't want to stay with the Raleigh frame, so I guess I'll be in the market for ANOTHER fork & headset....hopefully will have this mess all put together before the snow flies.
