First, it was good. Then it was very bad.

So I got my last parts today and built the thing up.
Here it is in all it's glory.



Then, the worst thing in the world happened. When I was cutting the steerer, one of the axle clamp bolts shook out and the little washer which prevents the clamp from hyper extending fell out with it. I did not realize that - until I clamped the axle .. and it broke.
Needless to say, I'm pissed.

Haha, John told me all about that incident as I was heading off to a 70's party last night. That sucks, didn't you take out the washers? That was what Mr. Frame said.

Anyhow, I'm sorry man, use a torque wrench when dealing with that stuff!

I love the brown frame though.

No, he must have misunderstood.
