What is it with the men-on-here's obsession with packages lately? :roll:BTW - You're lucky you had something cool in this thread, otherwise I was ready to bust your chops about talking about how your package looks quite nice...
Are you transferring the headset, or did you get a new one?
I really want to build a bike someday, I'm jealous.
Sweet, did you get it used?

It's fun the first time... then it's just kinda routine. If you really want to start, do a "deep clean" on your bike. Start taking stuff apart.
That's how I learned. I had an old version of Zinn's book, no internet at the time, and I just started taking stuff apart to see how it worked and how to put it back together.
New headset, the one on the GT is an integrated setup, and as you can see, this frame is not.
I got a crank bros. direct set, the all mountain one. Supposed to be as durable as a king without the cost of having your bearing say "King" on it.
I've got a Fox Talas 32 RLC fork coming for it... and the rest is stuff coming from the GT, includes XT shifters/levers, XT fd, XTR rd, avid mechanical discs, RF Evolve XC crank... XT hubs, Mavic 221 disc rims... etc. etc.

I was just curious how you intended to get the headset cups out of the frame if you were going to transfer them over. Obviously that won't be a problem.
Sounds like you're going to end up with a pretty kick ass rig when you're done. When do you plan on switching everything over?
That does look like a nice six bar slider linkage.
I really want to try my hand at building a set of wheels some day, but that would probably go much smoother with some sort of truing stand.
