I think the big difference here is that Eric has given away literally hundreds of dollars worth of parts for free. Trying to imply that he is using the forum for personal gain just doesn't hold up. So have I for that matter. I don't know about Eric but I always just laugh it off when someone on these forums tries to imply that I am greedy. Not to mention that Eric has sold alot of stuff here and each time he has paid his 2 bucks for the classifieds.

Confirmed, no exchange of money on this deal. A fellow bro deal passed along. Pay it forward mind you. If Eric wanted to sell these wheels for a gain, I think he could have quite easily whichever way he would have chosen. Peace.

Progress being made!!

Silver CK headset installed. XT Wheelset installed. WCS Ritchey Ti Vector onboard... XT thumbies, FD and RD, check. UN71 BB and Logic cranks ready to go! Pending 987 brakes installation with Ritchey levers. NEW ZMax tires on the way. :thumbsup:

Only issue so far is I should have installed a headset with a lower stack height. The CK left no room for the Ritchey hanger. :confused: Which explains why there was an incorrect stem (Controltech w/ integrated hanger) included when I received the bike. Looks like the Ritchey stem planned for this bike will get sidelined for now and the Controltech will get used until something better comes my way. Overall, this bike is coming together quite nicely. Should be a rider in the next few weeks!!!
