Amazing build continues. Love the images.
I'm stunned by how long the rear stays are, thus requiring that extra long spacer. I'm used to struggling to get a rear wheel in w/o deflating the tire. That sure won't be a problem here. This is almost to a utility frame with that back end.
What was the stack height on your fork. That Grand Cru headset needs, at least, 41mm. Correct?
Great stuff, as always!
