The frame just arrived on Wednesday, and the build has been going.....slow. This is the first frame I have built from new, so I'm on a learning curve. For some reason, it is far different from doing the exact same work as upgrades on my previous bike. I also had issues with the Yokozuna Motoko brakes I got for it and sorting that cost me a bunch of time.

I will say that the Grays looks even better in person. And I now have everything on it but the pedals and when I pick it up there is a real lightness to it. Of course, I am coming from a steel Charge Plug that really feels like a brick. Hoping to finish the build this morning and then get it out for a shakedown ride this afternoon. Will post pics when it is all done.
