I have had great success with black gorilla tape I use a razor blade in a large book and a clamp to get the right width then just roll the tape roll around and you have a nice edge and can get the perfect width. I just picked up some Blue Strapping Tape 8896 for a wheel build on Velocity Cliffha

Buy yourself a work stand, doing this stuff on the ground or upside down sucks and can add confusion to a lot of different aspects to the build (Hard to judge proportion, leverage, threading orientation etc). It will always be useful for maintenance cleaning etc. If you can track down a friend

It's pretty common that new frames need to be chased and faced, bb and headtube. I would take it to a shop for that. It takes special tools and special knowledge, and is easy to ruin a frame if done incorrectly. On Wednesday, March 15, 2017 at 5:57:25 PM UTC-7, Kevin Lindsey wrote: > > Make

Fun question. It sounds to me like you'd be happiest selling the Bombadi because it is too big for the kind of riding you'd like to do with it and the Sequoia because you don't love it. I would not sell a bike I love even if overlaps with something else. You love the Romulus so I don't see why
