ichnusa Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Ok... I cant do it anymore... waiting is not my strong point!Whats up? Can i help? Let me finish the build for you...
Gucci Posted January 21, 2017 Author Posted January 21, 2017 Current location Miami. Flying out tonight Current thoughts: Sell it as is (if interested chat to me) Take out of current lbs and take to another who specialize more in building bikes and hope for a better solution - currently nothing has Happened since mid dec!! Let's see what Happens #Frustrated.

ichnusa Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Send it to Craig Paul at Greg Minnaar Cycles in PMB - he can sort anything out!
Gucci Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 I just picked up the bike - can't say I'm happy at all!!! neither brakes are fitted or working bike covered in dust, wheels look almost used but are brand newboth tyre flat 2 scratches that weren't there when frame delivered titanium bolts missing and lost 55 days since new calipers delivered and nothing done (xmas in between) So it is now in my office until I decide what to do with it. Im thinking of taking it the original person I wanted to build it and wait until they are available - they were busy on Ara at the time. I still really like the idea of the bike but Ive lost all passion for it!!!
mon-goose Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 hope you didn't pay for the work lack of work done

samson99 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 http://guccikit.tumblr.com/post/156350864104Hey Gucci, Looks smart. If you don't finish it, i will take over and finish it.
Gucci Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Been playing this morning - Once I have the right adaptor I think I will be sorted!! now trying to source one!!
mon-goose Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 That looks super nice Gucci. Hope you come right and get it finished up
Gucci Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 OK The adaptor is ordered from Germany - paid far too much to get it here but hay, the joys of custom builds is the learning curve is steep!!! (I kinda expected the experts to advise me along the way but it didn't happen this time!!) Thanks for the advice on here - I should have listened to you first!!
ichnusa Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Do you have a pic of the adapter for us? Or do we have to wait 56 days again!
Gucci Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 This is what Ive ordered: http://i.imgur.com/JUsnE2F.jpg Im also getting my mojo back for this build - the bike is sat in the office so I'm around it all day and its getting me slowly excited again and i can't wait to ride it!! I think the massive front ring is going to need to be replaced but will see. http://i.imgur.com/nOLVFSE.jpg And yes the bit of red on the seat rail is killing me!!
ichnusa Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Good! Well done! I am excited, so cant imagine how you must feel... So are you putting 160mm rotors on to give more clearance for the spokes?
Gucci Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 It looks like I was working on bad advice so i really think that the new adaptor will solve e very thing - no new rotors or McGyvers but lets see. its in DHL's hands (Well customs actually)
