Sold my challenger to Meredith lidstone. off topic Dan I keep that to remind me of the drunk I was. I have nothing against anyone's choice, But this last trip to the brink of death scared the crap out of me. , I have noticed a significant increase in stamina since I am no longer drinking.
Back to topic... Standard race forks come in tommorow. I might have it ready to rock by sunday.

You would win, but winning races is a small part of my life now, considering I could not walk a few months ago, Say what you want it does not really bother me.
I will say this about grey goose, pooh bear when I was drinking Damn that stuff was gooood!!!!!! LOL

Hey Ant -- just a few quick tips. Before you assemble, sand/scrape that paint out from the inside of the bottom bracket. I had a heck of a time installing sealed bearings in a bike I painted (and didn't tape that off) in the past. Same with the brake studs as well.
If you want that to look really killer, grab some 1500 grit sand paper (two or three sheets should do fine), and lightly wet sand that entire frame. Go extra gentle around sharp corners (edges of dropouts, bottom bracket shell, etc...). Follow up with some Mothers polish and that thing will pop.
