This is my last text update. I have gathered my final pieces and begun the process of constructing my new machine. About the only bit of real labor that needs be done is to cut the steerer tube on the fork to size. That will be taken care of within the next two days. Also I've encountered an issue with my seat post and tube. Firstly it was a pain in the ass to get the seat clamp on but after much grease, hitting, and swearing I was able to do it. Unfortunately, when I got it I discovered that it didn't tighten properly so my seat isn't exactly secure. It doesn't appear damaging enough to compromise the project but it's certainly not something I can ignore.
When all things considered, I think that I have had a bit more trouble than I should have with this but it has allowed me to learn more than I otherwise would have. I know that next time it should be easier...but probably more expensive. I can say with great confidence that this has been a fun little adventure, especially recieving all sorts of packages in the mail at work.
Well I guess that's all I really have left to say now. For any future readers, don't hesitate to email me with questions or advice. I not be an expert but I'm certainly no fool.
