I've let the paint cure for a while and mounted the headset, bottom bracket, and the crankset. A bit of a bad photo, but it's not yet time for beauty shots :)
I'm facing a few technical issues that have to be solved: the frontfork is a bit too long, and i don't want to use 4 spacers to fill the threads up. I don't want to buy the parktool for it, so i am open for suggestions how to do this in a sensible way.
AND,
the clearance between the chainwheel and stays are verrrry small:
Is this seriously normal? It is like 1mm before it scratches my expensive laquer... The bottom bracket fits pretty good, very smooth. It is a 68-p-120 axle, and the measured chainline from the center of the frame is 45mm which is pretty standard.
