Hey, lungimsam,
Just a heads-up. Some of your replies to the group appear as blank messages
in my email digest. If I click through to the group, your message appears
in the "quoted" part of the post, with nothing in the "reply" part. Google
is getting confused - perhaps you're highlighting and
shows fine for me on chrome.

Over the weekend got to share one of my favorite activities, bike camping,

disaster, so I was quite surprised when she said she was interested in
doing some biking camping at Half Moon Bay

I was hoping to stiffen the fabric a bit and, of course, weatherproof it.

My general rule is start from the bottom and move up. Wheels, cranks/bb,

All your plans so good so far. Assembling a bike is the best part IMHO!
As for for brake levers, you should be able to unbolt the clamp part, slide
it on, then bolt the lever bodies back onto the clamp. I don't know if that
works for brifters though.

The OP tried that and it was still very tight. Nevertheless, doing it that
way is probably his best bet for the least scratching.

Very funny! FYI, I'm looking for a beater crankset. Something taking up

nothing. Not a multi-thousand dollar bike. ;)

Check out the Singular Peregrine if you want an example of a nice looking,

surprisingly easily, but there still are a few tricks, and a few
opportunities for knowlege and discipline and care. Can you find someone
