Pay particular attention to the front of the head tube. (I'll get to this later!!) I have 2 layers of foam zip tied in place!!!




now we move onto the front wheel and handlebars. Postion the crankarm inside the rim.spokes and rest the wheel against the frame. If this is done properly the wheel will reat on the in 3 positions with ZERO stress on the wheel. Notice that the front wheel is positioned bleow the shiftlever. On smaller frames **** may not be possible!! Zip tie it onto place:




Drop bars are simply rested on the top tube (dont say it!!) and zip tied to the top tube and down tube. You may need to loosen the stem. In this particuar instance the lower drop is on the outside of the front wheel. Front brake is tied to the downtube.




Time for a test fit!!!! Looks good!!!
