The headset was perfect for the frame , well I say perfect , downside it was a threaded headset , (in my haste I’d actually overlooked in the buying process of headsets that one fork was threaded , and the other was unthreaded 🫣) , and at this build point I was in a state of uncertainty if I...

I’d actually be more worried about driving on the wrong side of the road 🫣🤣

rear bolted and bonded area .. Bottom bracket shell casting .. 😉

ah no problem, you meant the pace rc 36 forks on my Gt .. Pace cycles were maybe the first to my knowledge that offered the brake stud placement at the rear of the fork , certainly as far back as around 1990 iirc , the design came about in order to offer better braking performance as this...
