1994 Norco Rampage

[Ingola]

Dudes, you were warned on page one:

It'll be ready by springtime. Theoretically

Maybe over Christmas I'm off for two weeks

Now now Matti.... reveal or repeal!

What have you got for me *dabs the dolls head with Canadian club and blows smoke unto it*

Brought a box of goodies to Ingola's place for Buddies' Bike Building Day. There were a few setbacks, but we have a rolling chassis now. I can start hanging pieces

My NOS FSA headset didn't fit and the plastic seals disintegrated during the install attempt, so we snagged the Cane Creek off Ingola's winter Norco. Also brought the 127 mm spindle UN54 BB by mistake, so we didn't put one in yet
We also struggled for a couple of hours with the stupid seat post. My 27.2 mm post would not fit so we tried his 27.2 and it did, but not with the clamp that came with the frame. It was squeezing the turd out of the top of the seat tube. Fresh grease in the rear too, with a bit of a setback involving mixed from his cassette getting mixed with mine for a while. We also had a problem with wrenches, every time one was put down, it would dissappear. Never to be found until the replacement tool was lost and we'd find the first one while hunting the second. Also, a fun visit at the pet store where the clerk thought we were more "together " than we are. But he wasn't wrong, the "Biggie" and "Small" matching beanies would be damned cute.

Thanks for the help, Doctor, but you know we had a smoke ceremony or two on our own
