I won the auction for the frame and it happened to be only a few hundred miles away and the seller shipped fast, so I had it two days later. The day I won the auction for the frame I also won the auction for the crank which showed up yesterday.
I'm still waiting for new decals, the rear derailleur and some other goodies. I don't expect to have the bike built at least until after the holidays. I still need a headset, a stem and bars, and a bunch of other small stuff. I did happen to get my brand new Brooks pro yesterday though..
I can't wait to get it together, but with my like when that happens we'll have 6" of snow on the ground.
Had me fooled there. I saw your question about removing the old decals in another post, my frame actually did have 5 crusty decals clinging to life. I used a basic hair dryer and a thin guitar pick, then I removed the extra gunk with some goo gone. Worked like a charm! Did you make a decision about your headset? I have a gran sport headset that I was figuring I would probably use, bummer about your fork, nothing that can't be fixed though.
