My 11 year old shop monkey just spotted the missing part after looking at the pic for 15 seconds.

I have been up for two and a half hours again. Might get out into the garage later tonight. Once I walk in I will not come out until I can ride out.

Your 11 year old shop monkey is better than this 38 year old shop rat!

You know, that thing looks really cool just lying there in pieces. It's gonna be outstanding when assembled.

Everyone has come together to build a great bike... I think the person who wins this will be very happy... The overall value of this bike will far exceed any money spent on the purchase of it. To the winner.... You are comming out on top with this one.... 8)

Shouldn't be a problem! I have powder coated stems quite a few times & it is a little tighter, but not a problem. If it is, just grind a little off the part that won't show.

Assembly has started with problems right off the bat! I always start at the front of the bike and work to the back. Went to install the head cups and they didn't fit :x

I got the files out to clean the excess powder coating off but that didn't help. Dug a little deeper and it just wasn't happening, so off to the parts bin for bearing cups that fit. I found a matching pair and broke out the gloss black paint. Now we have to wait on them to dry.

I went ahead and installed the bottom bracket, crank, rear wheel and chain. I will get some pics up later.

And I am getting sick to boot. Feels like strep. Ain't gonna stop progress though.

Your are a trooper, my friend. You didn't really expect it to go together with no snags did you? :lol: Guess i'm not the only one that happens to! Hope you get to feeling better & if there is anything I can do, let me know. Remember, the deadline is not set in stone!
