No pictures yet though.
This is my first attempt at building a frame up myself. I took a day off today and stripped the OCR4 down in the hour, placing all the parts to transplant on the kitchen table. It was going well until I started to build her up.
I have learnt that non drive bottom bracket cups do better on the non drive side. Lesson learnt. No damage to anything.
I have also learnt that Enigma Etapes are designed for Campag headsets and that Hope headsets do not have 45 degree inset bearings. Cue a quick journey to the LBS to purchase the only 45 degree one he had - Cane Creek - Cross headset. It has the brake boss thing on it, never mind.
I also learnt that when following instructions and it says to cut down your Ride On Gore outers to the same size as the ones you are taking off - that this would only apply if you were putting them back onto the same frame. When the new frame has the bosses 3 inches further down the tube - you will find that the old sized outers are too short. When you find some spare Dura Ace grey outers, you then find that the rest of the cable you cut down when placed into the new outer is also now too short.
Cue one wasted pack of Gore Ride On gear cables. Expensive lesson but one I will never forget.
I took her out this afternoon with Son2 on his bike so nothing fast.
But boy oh boy what a ride. She is so smooth but also mega responsive. It was a real joy to ride. Amazingly similar to carbon for power and lightness but dampening of steel. I will do a better ride tomorrow to the LBS to get two new gear cables.
To all those that helped me get to this place decision wise, thank you, I am greatly impresses and satisfied.
