Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delay in an update. Work has been a bit crazy lately! There were some requests for pics of the bike, so they are here!! Whoo hoo!



Update on progress: I had to buy some new tires for my true road bike, so that set me back like $150, so i havent been able to buy all the pieces for this build. I did get some bars:


In the meantime, until pay day, I learned how to 'index' or 'correctly gear' both of my derailuers. They were both super clanky, and grindy, a few you tube videos, and beers later things are shifting pretty damn smoothly. Very little chain hitting the derailuer, which I think is a huge win. hahaha.

One question i did have. I noticed that on my non drive side crank/bottom bracket that there is a pretty large gap. This gap is not present on my other road bike so I wonder if something is wrong? I took a pic, but it looks like i am missing a piece that covers this, any insights would be great.
