Time for an update...

The LBS downtown is building a wheel for me with Mavic (at least I thought that's what he was going to use) rims and an IGH hub. Today I took the frame pieces to a different chain bike shop that I bought the frame at, and he put a new bottom bracket in for me and reassembled the fork/frame/headset/head tube. They had a seat of Deore XT rear v-brakes, and gave me a sweet deal. I also ordered a pair for the front, grips, and the brake levers. Tonight I painted the stem and the bars. It is coming together, but my bike allowance limits how fast I can get it all done.
Here's some bike pics for ya...
