Putting The Shop To Good Use

Since we now have a shop space to call our own, Ian and I decided to break it in the right way by building up his new frame. Three and a half hours later and after searching for missing tools and some head scratching when installing the fork, we got the bike assembled and in rideable condition.

Despite being a little flimsy and awkward to handle the stand did pretty well with this frame. Once the cables were on, it was a hassle to work on the bike because we couldn't clamp the tubes and steady it. But then again at least one of us didn't have to hold the bike up while the other turned the cranks.
