I got almost all the parts in yesterday, minus the seat and handlebar. I bolted everything on today, and amazingly, there were no issues or problems. I converted the square taper cartridge BB to the Dura Ace hollowtech, and the chainset installed without needing any aligning or shims. When removing the original v brakes, the brake bosses came out as well, which was good, as I replaced them with titanium pieces. The only things I am waiting for are the seat and the handlebar.

After a test ride, the bike runs and handles beautifully. It is light and fast, the 20" wheels roll easily, and the lower angle of attack works well with the suspension to smooth out the ride even more. I'm trying to upload photos, but the forum format is giving me grief.
