Finished???

I am nearly finished. The last several weeks have been extremely busy with selling the house, going to Florida to find a new place to live and visit the kids' new schools. I have been trying to balance construction time with getting fit enough to race......oh yeah, the race is six days away!!!

The good news is that I finally got the bike out onto some trails today. It rides alright, but I have some tweaking to do this week as well as a bit more epoxy work for the bottom bracket.

I have major rear suspension sag problems right now, it is causing me to bottom out constantly and is causing havoc with my chain management. I will recheck the air pressure in the shock tomorrow and work on some adjustments. The lockout lever is due to be delivered tomorrow. Once I have that installed I should have good control over stiffening up the rear end. I hope so anyway, as it is not good the way it is now. If all goes as planned with that tomorrow night I will get the epoxy finished Tuesday night and then tweak the derailleurs Wednesday. Time is tight, but things will work out.

Oh yeah, I will be trimming the end of the steering mast as well, that piece sticking down by the front tire is just waiting to ensure I have the length right.
