Bike is progressing at a snail's pace as I'm trying to fund the build almost exclusively from the parting-out of my old MTB on Craigslist. This has led to stumbling across the odd CL bargain too, like a practically-unworn Litespeed / Velo Ti-railed seat for just $10.
My Salsa Cowbell 3s arrived, along with Tektro RL520 Drop-V levers. I've chosen Newbaum's Eggplant cotton bar tape to compliment the chartreuse decals on the frame, as I'm sticking with the original finish for now.
Headset is in, just drivetrain & wheels to sort now. Hopefully done in a couple of weeks - I'm dying to ride it!
