Just need to pick up a couple spacers for the rear hub (dropout is 126mm and bicyclewheels.com wouldn't prespace the 120mm hub for me).
Here's the frame as it looks right now - sorry for the hideously large picture - i didn't take the time to resize yet.
oh ****; that is sweet.. I love the all chrome! Give the DIY BB tool a shot; it was cake. Also, the rear stays will suck up that 6mm easily if you just tighten it; or you could just throw some washers on there. Either way I'm sure it'll be fine..
