So the Apollo is just about finished. The frame came from Ricohman and parts came from all over the place: bward, barndoor, a guy on the iBOB list, VeloOrange, LooseScrews, JensenUSA, REI, a local LBS and a local bike co-op!

This is my first time building a bike from scratch, and man what an effort it is when you are on a budget!

The only thing I am still waiting for are track bolts so that I can remove one of the chainrings. Also, the chain I purchased is short so I am limited in gearing choices. I made need another chain eventually. Lastly, I would love a brown saddle to match the handle bar tape and writing on the frame.

Two of the pictures are absolutely huge, so I'm just going to provide a link to them:
