I have removed all of the decals from the frame and forks. It took many hours and my fingers were sore for days, but it is done. I also got some blue mongoose grips for the handle bars.
I got the cranks I was waiting for so I have most of the parts I need to start building the thing, but before I do that, I've got to get the headset bearing cups popped out and replaced. The cups that came with the frame have some chrome flaking off so I need to replace them. Unfortunately I don't have the tools necessary to pop them out, nor compress the new ones in. I'll probably have to run the frame down to a bike shop and have them do it.
I also still need to replace all of the nipples on the rims. I am not looking forward to that, but I am doing this for the greater good.
