Heading home after a long night. It's cold as f*** again.

We machined the crankset. This allowed us to bring the drive side crank closer to the frame. Edit: Glossary

The chain line problem has been solved. Thanks Johannes!

This is madness.

Totally agree with you quintonb, I will replace the handlebar when rest of the build is finished. I'm currently struggling to get an acceptable chain line:

Looks good so far:

I'd be riding the bike to work tomorrow IF my beer can shim hadn't failed. Getting frustrated.

I went trough my stash last night and found what I was looking for. Galli Criterium crankset, matching Galli seatpost, ITM cockpit... I also found a white Unicanitor saddle but I think I should go with a Turbo instead. What do you think?

Thanks deanbean! I kinda want to leave this misery behind and move somewhere warm and sunny. I just don't have the balls to leave everything like my friends and family behind. Picture related. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qTCGx98HaFY/UGS44gI0hYI/AAAAAAAAB7E/18Z0jH6dYzw/s1600/finnish_seasons.jpg

Here are the pics I promised earlier. http://i.imgur.com/PCLprO2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SbFv2N8.jpg

The plans for tonight did change a bit. I somehow ended up in a bar... again.

I ran into a pretty nice wheelset while visiting my local LBS. For 130$ I got a moderately light wheelset with Formula track hubs. There are some signs of use on the rims, but I will most likely replace them with ones matching to the final build. Will post some pictures when I get home. Also got some small parts like chains and stack bolts.

Fake. No one uses the crop tool in Photoshop.
