My first build and i got the bike for free, now i need help!

Gone very quiet here :shock:

How the build going ?? any progress ??

I've probably got some A headset bits if you need them.

Wheel removed, needs a quick clean and then sort the courier. Cassette loosely fitted for you to fettle with.

Looks like it's coming together. My bits should be with you later this week. Must be getting friendly with your postie by now!

services still available.

How's the karma cycle going? Update needed!

I have not yet posted your wheel. I am having real issues fitting my new wheel and getting it sorted with my V-brakes. Am going to give it a good go on Wednesday, but if I can't sort it I will have to keep the original. Whate4ver heppens, I will still send your cassette and refund all the money you paypal'd me.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
