With the help of a fellow rider and occasional Monkey - crashtest - and his chocolate lab, Denali, the headset was installed with a little ingenuity and resourcefulness - thanks crashtest - I owe you some beer!
Came home and commenced with building as much as I could get done last night. Finished up close to Midnight.
Here she is as she sits this morning.
I'm hopeful that the seatpost from Orven/Shyrmp will arrive today, that way I can get a sense of the cockpit. I think I may need a stem that falls in between the Titec (100mm) on there now and a short (65mm maybe) Bontrager stem I have waiting in the wings.
I also gotta see if I can pick up the Mary Bars I'd like to run tonight. If not, I may just go with the Hellbents.
I'd love to find a 90mm/zero rise Easton Mag 60 stem - I think one of those black Magnesium jobbers would look great on this frame. But they are hard as hell to find now.
I think she's gonna be a fun bike.
