Hey that looks a lot like mine. Beauty! Congrats on the bike - sorry about the snow. 
The Six Pack is DONE
That's it, the Turner is built!
The last of my parts showed up on Friday night, so I spent yesterday bolting stuff on. I was worried about installing and bleeding the brakes myself, but they're on and working great. The hoses are a little long, but I'll fix them another time.
How many Turner points do I get for pics of the finished bike ON the couch and in front of the garage door?

Very, very nice. Gives me an little idea of how mine's gonna look. Nice build too, not show-off blingy like some folks (cough*Foshizzle*cough), but beefy and functional. Did you pick up those Rhynolite/Saint wheels on closeout somewhere? I was looking at those myself, but decided I didn't want to be married to Saint rotors and rear derailleur (not that those aren't good parts). They sure were a good deal.schlim said:
And no deduction points for not having a red couch, since the frame is white and that's what the cool guys ride.
Have fun. :thumbsup:
The wheelset was from BlueSky and were a great deal http://www.blueskycycling.com/product2801_54_-Shimano-Saint-M800-Wheelset-w--Sun-Rhyno-Rims-&-Saint-M800-Derailleur.htmPCinSC said:Did you pick up those Rhynolite/Saint wheels on closeout somewhere?

They threw in a free Saint derailleur, but the rapid rise isn't my cup of tea. I tossed out the heavy axle bolt that affixes the derailleur and got an aluminum Hadley bolt from Balle Racing: http://www.balleracing.com/Hadley/Hadley10mmAxle.htm
You might like the Saint rotors, Shimano rotors are quit a bit less noisy than the Avid rotors on two other bikes I have.
Thanks for not deducting points for the blue couch!
