Here is a sneak peak.. put the headset, bottom bracket and fenders on, was worried about the bottom bracket, but after a few popeye arm exercises i was able to get the fixed cup back in and the adjustable cup is almost burried, it finally caught the spindle with about 2.5 threads left and i was able to back it off and adjust it nice.. even had some room to throw the lock ring on...

the fenders on the other hand were a PIA, the struts for the fenders had a little plastic holder that fit over the end and you cut to length, after hacking off about an inch from each strut I decided not to use them.. I just clipped off the little caps and fit them nicely over the ends

and lastly , i had picked up a threadless adapter for this build at my local coop, i was already to install the bars and the realized its a 1 1/8 threadless adapter not a 1" didn't even know they made those? oh well, back to the coop it goes..




another when she was brought home..
