I have garage envy.Wife and kids have finally left me... No not because of the new frame (I think) but for New Years. Finally decided on a plan of action late last night and started to strip my current bike of all the parts. Gave the fork a service too. Bearings are a mess. Need new ones but I guess its gonna be on the trainer so no rush there. With everything off, I'll probably spend tonight cleaning all the old parts before rebuilding my older frame and then move on to building the new one. Great to be hanging out in the garage again with music and new toys.

Is the family back?Both bikes are now built up again. Happy days.
One of the funnier things was me requiring a newspaper to spread out on the ground of the garage. I went to the local combini and picked a paper that seemed to have the most pages. Got home, opened it up to put it on the floor and sure wasn't it full of boobs and sports results. Had a good chuckle about that.
Does that make me a pundit?Lol... you are so punny
1. Press fitting the bottom bracket.
2. Cutting the steerer tube
3. Press fitting the headset.
I think it's the same reason stock MTB handlebars are about 60' wide; you can cut them shorter, but you can't cut them longer.By the way, I still do not understand why the steerer is sooooo long when a frame/fork is sold.
Well done !
I messed up the headset setup when assembling my bike ( not reading the maker instructions carefully) and damaged the top of the steerer. Went back to the LBS, and the fork was sent back to Cannondale for some X-ray analysis. The top was effectively damaged but the steerer saved by just cutting an additional 1cm. It gives me a more aerodynamic position. More than 1 cm cut and I was due for a new fork. It was previously just fitting to my position.
Lesson learned but a lot of pleasure and self satisfaction
