I can't wait to see the completed bike. I'd also be interested in the final build cost tally, should you care to share.

Is that a stolen Bianchi I see in the background?

For reference, this was the donor bike for your fork - a nice 4130 cromoly Schwinn that was too far gone to be worth salvaging at any kind of profit. It's death gave others a chance at life though - you've got the fork and headset, the BB and crank set went with one flip bike, the wheels with another, the dérailleurs with yet another, and the stem/bars/shifters/brakes are slated to go on a mixte frame set I picked up a couple of weeks ago.
