Nice ride, I just built up an 18" frame very simular to yours. Everyone who sees mine says, "Holy Steerer tube!" Don't know if you have had the same reaction with yours. The head tube is really short on this frameset so you have to use all those spacers to make up for it. I was wondering what brand fenders did you use, and what did you use to mount the front fender to the bottom of the steerer tube? Also, what is the black metal piece that the rack is mounted to on the rear dropout? Where did you get that? Thanks for your help. I haven't rode mine much, just finished it the other night but really looking forward to it. Thanks, happy trails!
