The home stretch!
Picked up the frame and forks from Seattle Powder Coat on Friday morning. They look awesome. I really like the color. The one drawback is how it puddles in certain places. I found it has settled into the dropouts which makes installing wheels difficult. I will need to trim some away and hopefully not go all the way through.




I spent Friday night prepping headtubes and facing and tapping BB's and cleaning up the fork crowns - as mentioned earlier, they were right at the minimum size so, it was really just cleaning off the powder coating flashing:




This morning I built one completely to go through a dry run so to speak and see if there were any gotchas I would run into:


The gotcha was that we didn't order chains!!

Tomorrow, I will be installing tires on wheels, installing headsets, forks, bar/stems.
