FINALLY!
I have finally built my new bike. Kink revision B frame, S&M Pitchforks, Primio Casket stem. The frame is way oversized (OS headset and 14mm slots). The forks are probably the most popular fork out there, and its strength got it there. This project has taked several weeks to complete…
The headset cups would not fit after 2 hours of hammering… I took the frame to the bike shop and they had to ream out the head tube on the frame. the opening was too small for the regular oversized cups. blah blah blah, took 3 days for that (bike shop closed on 1 of them). then on to the bottom bracket. Again, the bottom bracket cups were too big to fit. So I went to the bike shop again for them to grind the cups down to size (weird but worked).
Got that home and then tried to get the bearings to fit into the newly pressed bottom bracket. The cups were in so tight, that i had to hammer the sealed bearings into the cups (2 more hours there)…. so on and so on… Now I’m just waiting for my oversized axles to arrive (UPS has tried to deliver 2x, but I was at work). Albes bike shop mistakenly sent me the wrong sized axles for my hubs… I hope the new ones fit.

lightsite.uni.cc, this site uses a very similar skull and crossbones to represent itself as biblicone does, weird.
