-Got almost all the parts. I'm just waiting on the frame which will be hear on the 11th of July. Only a few more days! Sadly, I'll be out of town when it gets here, but after 4 or 5 months, I can wait it out.
-Picked up a Nitto CT-80 stem from Business Cycles Got an EAI 17t cog from them as well.
-Got the front wheel all done with some help. After trying to copy the Sheldon Brown wheelbuilding page, and reading the Barnett Manual, I still kept screwing up the 3x rear and making it 2x. After completely taking the rear apart and just copying by a wheel i've got and it worked! Then read the Barnett Manual about truing and dishing and it worked great.
-Wrapped the bars with some cheap-o nashbar wrap and mounted the bars on the stem, just for something to do.
-I'm pretty sure all I need now are some chainring bolts and a seatpost binder. So close!

How are you liking the CT-80?? I am tying to justify the $100 it will cost me to pick one up.
omg, pazzmore. Sorry I didn't see this.... 4 months ago, haha.
I love it. It's wonderful looking. I'm trying to sell it right now though as the IRO is being upgraded to a custom
I recognize your photo of your stem on craigslist, but I'm afraid the 110mm is too long. I just ordered a 100mm.
