Initial build complete!!! She rides great, tomorrow morning will be the first distance test though... I ended up stealing parts from two bikes in my garage and a couple other missing links from the local co-op part bin. Definitely not the long term solution in alot of area's but it gets me rolling. Only one trip to the emergency room involved! (deep cut while attempting to remove pedals from a chainring).
