get er built

Obligatory 'needs risers' comment.

Just spotted this thread - can't wait to see this built, it's going to turn out so nice!

what the hell's taking so long?

I havent had time to have the bb faced. Tomorrow will be the day!

I'm excited to see this built, XH!

I was unable today to have the bb shell faced and then bb and cranks installed due to not having the tools.
Also every bike shop I called wanted to charge me a stupid amount of money for them to do it.

get a knife and face it yourself then

how much will lmnh charge me?

I don't know, probably about the same as every other bike shop

You can DIY at micycle

how much are you being charged?

I'm trying to remember what cyclesurgery would have charged for that. If it was just bb shell facing and chasing the threads, i'd have thought about £25 if not less?

Or is that what you consider to be too much?

If it's an external bb it's important to get it faced to the exactly the right width, or the cranks won't sit properly/tightening will fuck the bearings.

I'm sure you know all this already. This probably isn't helping.

btw are those cranks the same as the apex? they look it. They're freaking awesome.

mate this is gonna be FIT!

personally i'd go the carbon forks but either way this will be sex.

Bump? You may have forgotten about it but we haven't.

i can tell you know he hasn't built it yet

I knowwwwwww! I spent all my money on my Scissor....

Im need to face the bb shell then install the bb and cranks.

Then install the headset.

And build the front wheel.

Anyone wanna do it all for me for free so I can build it up and ride it already?

I love to see more pictures off this awesome frame.

Damn I want those cranks! Any idea what stem / bars you gonna run?

Deda Zero bars with Deda Quattro stem.

Just seen this thread, it's going to look maze!

I reckon, blacken the carbon forks up and fit them, they be nice ting.

That is, maxblack unless the decals can be removed.

I bet they weigh at least 1lb less as well.

When you get bored with this and want/need to sell it I'll take it off your hands.

Now build the fucker!

any news?!

I think this thread is just an experiment for Xanders advertising dissertation. Showing how to create a 'buzz ' on social media platforms.

I'll give you £50 for the frame.
