I know how you feel!

I have shifters and brake levers on order from Lickbike.com and then my first build will be complete! Ahhhh, I can't wait to finally get this done.

I only have brakes for my build right now, but a flood of stuff will be coming this week. I still have to decide on wheels... Looks like you've got some Wolbers, huh? I'm jealous.

Update: Brakes and a front derailleur.

Jynx, to me the rims look like Wolber TX Profils. Hard anodized goodness.

DAMMIT!!

I was this >< close to having it together. I was istalling the shifters on the bars and I popped one of the band things that hold the lever to the handle bar. And to top that off nobody around here thinks they have any, I guess Ill go check it out tomorrow.
