Just had a discussion at the lbs about the love of the project, the hand ringing and sweaty brow inducing decisions that need to be made, the endless nights staring at the ceiling, thinking "for fucks sake I have to be in work in four hours, why am I obsessing about 10 or 15mm of spacers?"
These are the things I thrive on,then there's that final glorious day!
The kettle goes on, the tea goes in the pot, the rollie gets lovingly crafted, tools are checked and neatly placed on the table, the frame is in the workstand (with place holder seat post - don't wanna mark the one that's actually being used)................. and breathe, the build begins.
That's how I get my kicks friends.

Yeah, sad/not sad to see you move these on. This thread is a testament to your love of the project and a nice expression of your own personal bike style. I enjoyed it just as much when it was some surlys and a genesis. Rockhopper sounds a good change of pace.
I’ve cooled on the bike projects for a while, but am just as bad with cameras and lenses. Currently awaiting delivery of a new lens the same version of which I only sold two months ago. Not regrets though, I didn’t want it then, and I do now. All this stuff just keeps life interesting and fun.
Hope they stay in the forum and we can still get updates in other threads.
