It’s Here!
My new bike finally arrived on December 28th. After a very lengthy and expensive delay at customs my bike left Grand Forks, North Dakota crossed the border into Canada to Winnipeg. After having a nice Christmas dinner in Winnipeg it traveled to Calgary where after a rough night of partying on Boxing Day must have lost the pieces I need to finish building it. The box arrived with a hole at the bottom where the top cap, headset spacers, and the seatpost clamp escaped into the abyss. I have called Fedex and have started a claim to try and get reimbursed.
I have slowly been building it up in between partying. I sold the brakes and have some new Shimano XT discs coming in from Thailand, and the rims are off getting painted. To highlight the blue and white theme I’m going for I picked up white heat shrink tubing to cover the cables. It helps to accent the theme as well as should provide some protection from cable rub.
