I can't say there were not moments of horror during this build. I amazed myself at how stupid I could be but nevertheless, I got it done, and I'm pretty impressed at how much you learn about bikes when building one from scratch. There are no more bogeyman jobs I would rather leave for a LBS!!
Got to thank a good friend, Glyn, who very kindly loaned me his workstand, and some tools I had never seen before that helped immensely.

Nice bike!
Love the black and orange combo .. Personally I'd go for a full stealth look with the 2014 revs with the black but that's just me
Have fun!0 -
I know what you mean ej2320, especially since I've also ordered a customized charge spoon saddle in orange and black, but I'm gonna get hold of some white handle bars soon so it should balance out.
