Thanks bikerider!!! I plan to do most of the work on my bike..I was talking to Buddy and he says that I should probably get a shop to install the star-nut, so I won't be doing the star-nut. I'm confident that I can install the headset though, and the race. I am getting a FSA headset and apparently they have easy races to set, so I'll do that. I have a pipe cutter so I'll probably cut the steer tube myself..I forgot to order spacers though, so I need to get a few of those. I picke the cool Kore stem because a) the shiny finish matches my handlebars, and b) I like the look of the 3 bolt on the front, and c) I like Kore.. I can't wait for the stuff to get here!!

By the way, was your friend able to find a replacement BB?? Or did he always have the original??
