Bike Project: Shopping Spree

I have no idea why I’d never noticed it before, but The Hub has a used-parts area. I dropped by The Hub just to check out prices on a few new items and ended up buying about half of my remaining “to buy” list. The totals

• 17-tooth freewheel cog (new)
• 1” threadless headset (new)
• Handlebars (used)
• Stem (used)
• pedals (used)
• chain (new)
• Power Grips (new)

I’ll probably head back tomorrow to pick up a used seat post, once I determine the size seat post I need.

Once I have the seat post, the only major part remaining is the rear rim. Then I have to build the rear wheel (or, more likely, have someone build it for me).

With all the parts in hand, I can finally finish assembling this thing. Which means that I better finish painting it soon!

Days: 34ish
