foiled by a front derailleur
well, it turns out that front derailleur that i wanted to use is bottom pull but my frame is routed for top pull so one more part was needed. it is from 2001 so no big deal...i bought an lx for $6 with some other odds and ends i 'needed.' other than that though the build went pretty seamlessly. besides waiting for the derailleur, i still need to set up my wheels (yet to be received) and shorten/bleed my brake lines but all in all it is good to go.
we took cal out in the backpack for some skiing at pleasant view. even though it is pretty wide open skiing i really like that place. easy to get to, groomed well for how much use it gets, and long enough that it isn't too boring. good training for sure.
back to work.
happy monday.
