Man, I got SO close to having my single speed road bike project all done. I have front and rear wheels all setup and ready to go, new brake cable in the front, and I even rode it around the complex parking lot. A few things became quickly apparent:

- The seatpost is WAAAAAaaaay too short. Must get one *much* longer
- The quill stem is bent! Drop bars are obviously tilted toward one side of the bike
- The frame MIGHT be too small. Standover height is perfect though. Hmmm..

Anyway, just had to vent my frustration with this project. I was hoping it would have been DONE by now.

Some pictures would be great.

rykoala,
Sorry to hear about your project. Weren't these thing apparent while you were building this up?

The seat post I wasn't sure about, I didn't notice the bent stem until after I had it built up. D'oh! It might be a good chance to just toss a flat bar on it, I have a couple of those laying around, with their quill stems. Might even take a shot at a cruiser bar flipped upside down

Oh, and pix will be put up as soon as I actually have some. I don't have a digital camera though so I have to wait until the bike is rideable and can get it to work where I can borrow one.
