The bike!

The bike (Co-Motion Nor'Wester Tour) finally arrived this past Thursday. The original plan was to have the shop help me install some of the more complicated parts (particularly headset and bottom bracket) but for safety sake I decided to go in to Wheelworks and work with a mechanic to do the entire set up. And I'm glad I did - while I could have gotten everything to work, there were a few things I would have missed, so it was for the best.

I was planning to take pictures as the bike was built up, but my battery died about 5 minutes into it. So, we magically jump from a bare frame in the shop to a finished bike in my yard. Enjoy...
