Hi all, well I finally started my bike build.
Its all going pretty straight forward so far. Have to figure out the chain tensioner yet, as the frame does a funky angle where it needs to be and wont fit.
Also tried the crush method on the front tube till I decided it was a really bad idea, so stopped. I made a 5mm plate up to adapt the front mount and it did a good job.
I am building the complete bike up to test point, then intend to strip it back down to tidy everything up and replace all bolts and loctite the lot.
Its been a fun day.
