Well, after a lot of thought, measuring and worrying, I finally settled on a frame size, and took delivery of a beautiful blue frameset.
Since picking it up, yesterday, I've only has a short time for building but have made some progress.
After working out a rather neat way of mounting the crown race to the fork steerer (more about that later) I'm a bit concerned by the brake mounting holes, on the fork. The bolts that came with the caliper seem to have a different thread to the fork holes, and will only go in a couple of turns before putting up more resistance than I'm comfortable with.
I've also tried the bolts that come with the caliper adapters which are supplied with the frame, but these exhibit the same behaviour.
Are the fork holes a standard size (if there is such a thing as a 'standard')?
Should I just be brave, and apply more pressure?
