I'm sure you can find somewhere local who will do just as good a job.

diamond in the rough you are!

Hey Scrod I was wondering if you had any advice on installing the zero stack headset for leader. Also I was wondering if the 2013 735 headtubes were "faced" (is that the right term not to sure).

Lol that's like 68% of the frame cost. If you got your frame in the citygrounds blowout like I did. I'm pretty sure you did.

Plus the cost of getting your bb shell/headtube faced.

That being said I'm still for the idea.

Use a headset press like you would with any other headset.

Most of the Leader frames I've seen have been good to go out of the box.

Thank you so much. You have no idea how helpful you and retrogression have been to helping me build my first bike from scratch. Can't wait to be done so I can show it off.

Anytime, man!

I want to say Coghouse. Pretty sure I went with Coghouse. Almost...ALMOST got another frame this past black friday. Literally had one in my cart, a click away from paying. Glad I didn't.

Hey Scrod, Im about to build a new bike for my girl and I'm having a hard time finding a nice steel singlespeed frame with fender eyelets . Any suggestions .? Preferably the sub $500 range for the frameset . Oh and she wants to run the velo orange hammered fenders .

The Fyxation Eastside frameset is low-buck, decent quality cro-mo and has eyelets and clearance for full fenders.

Cool, im ordering it from you right now, what bottom bracket would you recommend .?

That depends on the crankset being used.

Sorry, IRD defiant

Either a 110mm Shimano UN55 or the Andel BB will be perfect.

Ordered . Thanks man

What does good beer taste like? Is it worth it? (inb4 jdg)

How am I going to answer that? :lol:

When you said the tire bead jack was safe for carbon wheels if I was careful, what exactly did you mean? What should I be careful to do/not do?

Don't be heavy handed. If it feels like you're forcing it, you are.

...by buying me a beer?

Gettin in trouble. No luck with the LBS; they said they can only get in in white. Tell Angie thanks for contacting All-City for me; how long do special orders usually take? I've got ants in my pants

This is already being discussed via e-mail so there's no real need to post here. I'll let you know as soon as we hear back from All-City, I promise.

Should I use this fork until the repaint this spring and then get a better fork?

The Crank holder-in bolt on my non drive side keeps undoing itself and loosening my crank and then the crank starts to wobble then I get a power-cranks type scenario going on. Should I grease it? Loc-tite it?

I'm torqueing it down to spec, and it keeps loosening, with old and new cranks.

thats easy if you have tasted PBR, Bud or Miller etc thats not what good beer tastes like

Yeah, but there's still an order of preference for me. I'll take a miller lite or PBR over bud light any day and Coors original over Budweiser. I really can't remember the last time I went out and bought a pack of any of these.

Miller High Life has been my all-time favorite beer for over 15 years. I do enjoy "good" beer too but High Life will most likely always be my go-to.

**** beer snobbery.

coors is my least favorite beer of all time. one sip can drive me to nausea

It's funny, I love High Life but hate Coors and would rather not even think about beer than drink anything Budweiser.
