Halloween eve, working in Jamies shop/garage with the rain and lightening outside, I couldn't help but think this bike is going to be something special.
I stopped by Sam's to pick up a bar, then straight to Joey's house/shop to add a wheel set, bottom bracket, derailer, cranks. And then over to Jamie's to add a casette and rear wheel, front derailer, brake parts, tires, a chain, seat clamp, spacers, etc.. Then Tony showed up with a headset and chocolate cake.
These good friends have helped me put together an almost complete cross bike. I have offifically offered this bike to anyone who wants to try a cyclo-cross race. It shall be the community bike.
I'm still searching for a front brake, shifters, and a seat post. I expect to have this machine up and running by next weekend.
Take a look at Jamie working his magic:

brakes?...brakes?...why not Ted Shred style? All you need is a pair of shoes with good soles.
Oh and I have some old downtube shifters, you would just have to drill into the frame and set them -no big deal right?
community bike? can we keep it at my house?
JJ- i might take you up on that. thanks!
Rob- you might be right. brakes are silly and just add weight.
Dug- you will need to make a donation to the bike first. Maybe a bottle cage?
So do we have a ride set for Saturday???
gawd, you must be riding that cyclocross bike a lot!
