94% done. And it's lookin' good

Spent all day back in the workshop putting the beast together. And man is it lookin' good.

Never knew how much of a pain it was to get tubeless tires onto rims. I think me and my dad both got a hernia from trying to stretch that stupid piece of rubber for what seemed like 30 minutes. Per tire. 

Everything else seemed to go pretty nicely, The carbon bars are sweet and i think the Hayes Brakes with the Avid Cleansweep X Rotors are just pieces of art.

Beginning of the day
