complete...can kind of make out my 2 silver spokes per wheel:



wheel, brake, derailleur, and pedal:



stem, fork, bar, headset:



build notes:

not sure if i'm going to dig the Fun Bolts. might call up King and get some of the QR adapters.

fork feels badass.

rims built up faster than any rim i've built up before.

DOC + Saints + LG-1 = 2 spacers on non-driveside, none on driveside and none of the black or gold spacers between the backplace and the ISCG adapter plate.

hoses need to be cut.

new ODI end plugs look stupid. and i lost one during my first ride after a crash.

the first geared bike i have built from the ground up with all new components.

That does look nice. I like the looks of the DOC and would say that is about the only hardtail I have had the hots for in a long time. If I could afford a third bike, that would be it.

here's the grand pumba. after trying 4 different methods to keep that guy secure, and safe, i found the perfect means. $8 case from Container Store, $7 corrugated foam, and voila.

when closed, i can shake it and nothing rattles. i don't know if the foam is blue or purple, but it was the only color The Container Store had.

i have a tiny case that will house two 5mm hexes, a 3/32 hex, a toothbrush, an awl, and a T25 Torx.
