Not much visible really, but for the 4.60 it cost including shipping, am happy with this orange cassette locking screw

Every built from scratch bike needs custom coloured disc brake bolts.... And a name..

I present to you... Obsidian Flame.

There's lots I'd redo, and perhaps I will another time. Many mistakes were made, the rear brake housing should probably have come around the fork, the bar tape is icky, the caps HAVE to be replaced, etc, etc. But you know what? I'm pretty proud. Everything is working. And it's not going to be a daily ride anyway. I may strip it all and install hydraulic next fall, and take what I've learned and do better.

Orange pedals and jockey wheel to add to the theme.

An bike, with an chain and an cat!

Final derailleur adjustments, brake adjustments, tightening and bar tape to go!

Last thing for today. Rear derailleur installed, not torqued down yet, and trying to figure out how to measure a chain. Will cut and install it tomorrow I think.

Pads are rubbing, need some adjustments, but! I have brakes!

With a lot of help from my brother, shift housing has been run.

First vacation day task done. Handlebars "permanently" attached. Later I hope to run the shift housing and maybe install bottom bracket.

Wheels. Try to install cable routing this weekend perhaps. Everything is only temporarily in place now. Can't lock the handlebars down till I've run the cables and still undecided if I want to buy the L-twoo hydraulic system.

Temporary handlebar and fork placement before cutting the head tube. Need to get a hacksaw this week to do that I guess.
