Building a New bike Part 7

June 15 2011
Quite a bit of progress today, I've finished off the seat and it's securely attached to the bike, set up a derailleur (suntour v-lux chosen as much for its style as for its weight or anything else), modified a tool and used it to tighten the Schlumpf gear and set up the back wheel. Should be ready to do a blocky or two tomorrow. There is "only" the steerer and a few controls to go to get it on the road although there is a lot more to be done to get it into its final shape. In the 3rd photo you can see the (surfing) legrope ankle strap I use to attach the seat to the main tube.

All for now.
