Summer Project

Because I live in Flagstaff (one of the mountain bike capitals) I have decided to build a bike from scratch.  I got the frame and rear suspension from a local bike shop in a sale bin during bike to work week.  I was expecting that it would cost about $300 or so, but was pleasantly surprised when he said $100.  It is in good shape and I think it will fit me when I am done building it (if not, that is when eBay comes into play).  I will try to keep a photo log of the progress to show you a) how I am screwing it up, or b) the awesome bike I am building.  If any of you have built a bike before and know good resources on how to do it, let me know. 

Here is the first picture:

I've e-mailed a couple of friends I know who have put together bikes and directed them here. Hopefully, they will be of some help.

Love,
Dad
