Well my build seems to be taking forever. (as per the title) As I mentioned a while back I'm building a Disc Trucker. (my first build) It seems like I'm always either waiting for a tool or a part.

To date I've had the headset put in but am waiting for a star nut driver to finish putting it all together. I've got a stem, spacers, star nut and a Nitto Randonneir handle bar. I was trying to figure out the best way to cut the fork tube and remembered a friend of mine at work does quite a bit of welding. So I called him up and asked if I could use his chop saw. Well, the next day he called me and told me he put the saw in the back of my pickup and that I could just keep it. He'd been wanting a new one for a while and was looking for an excuse to buy one.

I've also put in a seat tube and today I put on the crankset. It's a raceface 24 32 42 10-speed. The man that's advising me said It would work for 10 or 9 speed cassette. (I'm leaning toward the 9)

After I get done with Christmas It'll begin to go faster. I'm chompin at the the bit here.

Anyway enough jabbering about my bike... Tell me about your first build.
