I have about 5 posts that I’m too lazy to write up. Anyway, I finally built up a new bike. Actually the only things new are the frame, fork, stem and handlebars. Everything else came over from my old bike. It’s an aluminum frame that I got a great deal on at Ebay. Ebay rocks for bike stuff. More pics in the gallery. The yellow thing under the saddle is a Lance Armstrong bracelet.
