Bike build

In the precious little free time I have left to build R’s bike, today I only managed to install the front fork, headset, spacers and stem.

Remaining: bottom bracket, crankset and pedals; then derailleurs, brakes, shifters, handlebar, all housings and cables, rear cassette and chain.

There will be a lot of Youtube watching, as I’ve never done this entirely on my own.

I’m having someone else build the wheels, because it’s too complicated to do from scratch, and I was told that the first wheel that one builds always comes out crappily.

I probably should take photos of progress.

I eat so much better than I deserve

…my friends who keep taking me out are amazing..
