First: Don't ask.

Second: this kind of "started" over in this thread:

Third: lets build!

This frame was a little less assembled than the Fondriest was when I got it. I had to install the headset cups. Normally you'd take a new headset to a shop with your frame and they'd use their $150 headset press to charge you to press in the cups.

Being selectively cheap, I hammered the old headset cups out of the my old road frame and made a homemade press from nuts, washers, and threaded rods. I froze the cups for a few hours and went to town:



The finished product:



Then on went the bearings, split preload washer, spacers, and fork:



Next, put wheels on so it can hold itself up and let your visiting Dad take a blurry picture of you:



I've got the front and rear derailleurs on it now, but I've got to pick up a seat post and some more headset spacers before I can really make it ridable.

Ginger is excited.
