I picked up the frameset from Duane of Chester Cycles, and it looks great. Now that I have it back I’m ready to start the actual build. I think that I have all of the major parts that I’ll need, but sometimes the small parts you need are not all present and accounted for. Since I don’t really have a schedule, if I need a part during the build I’ll get it somehow and then pick up where I left off.<\/p>\n
First, I decided to stay with the threadless stem, so I need a 1″ Campagnolo headset. That arrived while the frame was being painted, and so I called up Oswego Cyclery to see if they could pop the old headset cups out and press the new Campagnolo cups in. Also, I needed the old crown race removed and the Campy one put in it’s place. They guys at the shop have the right tools and it didn’t take them long.<\/p>\n
When I got home I put the bearings in and put the headset together. I’m using a cable tie to keep the fork from slipping out while the frame is in the workstand.<\/p>\n
Next will be the bottom bracket, brakes, crankset, and derailleurs. It will start looking like a bicycle soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
