Figured I would try to document the build of my new hard tail bike. Some of the parts started showing up on Friday. Today the frame showed up.

Love the color of that frame! Except for installing the headset, you going to do the build yourself?
Going to attempt to do as much as I can

Speaking of tools, you will need a bottom bracket wrench to install your BB and one of the crank arms.
I have a Shimano bottom bracket wrench, but don't think I have anything for the crank arm.
I'll be taking notes for an upcoming project of my own.....
If last night is any indication on how this is going to go this could be a long process. Took me 10 minutes to wrestle the seat post clamp on!
I should have warned you about that . I had the same problem with mine. I think the clamp size OnOne list on the web site is a tad too small. I had to purchase one a little larger than what they recommend.
Have you gotten any further than the seat post clamp?
I put the cassette on the rear wheel along with the rim strip, tire and tube!
Unfortunately I only ordered the headset this week(should be here Tues/Wed next week). My guess is it is probably easier for the shop to put it in a bare frame rather than having cranks and stuff hanging off so I have been holding off on attaching stuff to the frame.
Once this last package arrives I should have everything needed to get it together and out on the trails.
