Rejoice, we now have (nearly) all the bits.

The only snag is that the headtube is a bit longer than other steel bikes I have owned - great for my back, not so great for my home-made headset press as the bolt is too short

So it´ll not be put together today, as all the ´Home Depot´ equivalent places are shut.

The cheap saddle is excellent and matches the colours of the frame well.

I´m hoping to snare a zero-offset BBB seatpost this week on the bay, as I do like a slightly steeper seat angle than the norm, and they come up very rarely.







Apologies for the crappy pics, I´m in a bit of a rush....as usual.
