Found a box outside in the carport.. as luck would have it, its a fork! Seeing as the steerer was too short we are going with a temporary cheapo crmo fork. It has pizza cutter tabs, but as forks goes it's as good as any. Found it hard to roll the spaghetti around it, but licking the sauce off of the legs was sufficient for me.
Now I just need to cut the steerer to desired height... but my cutter is gone... perhaps the better half has hidden it to make mince out of my bits if I buy anymore bikes
Next I greased up my bottom...
Bracket. And decided to give it my stiff black crank, oh aye...... It's salty!
Brother Kermit's chainring looks beautiful on the one piece...

Will be taking this a spin later today. Just going to pop on the plastic pedals which are shite, but soon enough they'll be replace by some proper quality courtesy of the mighty pw la la
I cannot thank Mickey enough, not just for making me a beautiful custom headset, but for bearing with me when I've been as absolute dumbfuck. Should you ever need something custom made, please give him some business, you won't find a guy more dedicated to getting your stuff done right, with great attention to detail and always amazing communication.
And of course a big thank you to Kermit for the absolutely beast looking chainring which makes me think of 80s horror, chopping the heads of stranded hitchhikers in the woods....
And last but not least thank you to Woz as well for figuring out why I couldn't get those pesky cups out, had I never got them out I would never have gone 1 1/8...
I'm pretty fecking happy with it.
Except for the fork. Hate that ******* thing. If you have a 200mm steerer p2 let me buy it, or give it to me, or let me know your address so I can come nick it while you're sleeping
