Had some time away from work today.

I've had a little trouble with the rear brake mounts. Alining them was troublesome and they slipped on me a few times. I removed the first set and replaced them with the ones that were on my mountain bike (took the canti mounts off of a disk brake fitted frame).

I also had difficulty with the rack mounts. They are small threaded donuts that I countersunk into the seatstays. They were too slick for the epoxy to grip them. I replaced them with nuts, and they are holding fine.

I have the shifter and the brake lines installed, they both work. I also have the headset in place, but I'm missing the cranks because I don't have the right wrench to install the bottom bracket. I'll take it into the LBS on Monday and should be riding this coming week.

The ones I'm using now.


All but the cranks.

Tomorrow I'm going to cut some forms and make a jig for constructing the fenders.
