with the help of a fellow rider and occasional Monkey - crashtest - the headset was installed with a little ingenuity and resourcefulness - thanks Crash!

Came home and commenced with building as much as I could get done last night. Finished up close to Midnight.

Here she is as she sits this morning.

Hopefully the seatpost from Orven/Shyrmp will arrive today, that way I can get a sense of the cockpit. I think I may need a stem that falls in between the Titec (100mm) on there now and a short (65mm maybe) Bontrager stem I have waiting in the wings.

I also gotta see if I can pick up the Mary Bars I'd like to run tonight. If not, I may just go with the Hellbents.

I'd love to find a 90mm/zero rise Easton Mag 60 stem - I think one of those black Magnesium jobbers would look great on this frame. But they are hard as hell to find now.

I think she's gonna be a fun bike though! :cheers:

woah - that just confuses me more - I suck with numbers.

I've got an email in to the guys at Niner to see what they have to say.

Maybe I should just compromise and find an 80mm stem!

you did measure exactly how you had your KM set up didn't you:busted:

take your cockpit length(center of saddle to center of bars at the stem) now measure new cockpit saddle to center of steerer bolt. do it in mm's and subtract, that should give you a good start point.
