OK. I decided to have my LBS install the headset bearings and crown race. They were also willing to loan me some spacers and stem to help me finish the build and begin fitting the bike.



One issue I've dealt with is the bolts for the cantilever brakes are 25mm in length. This is about 10mm too long for the sleeves supplied with the carbon fork. I used a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel to remove the excess length.



At this point I've hung all the major components. I used Loctite blue on the threads that shouldn't come loose and grease on the BB spindle.









I'm off to the LBS to get some rim tape. Tubes and tires next!
