Today has gone well, with the new taper roller head bearings installed and the head set refitted, then the forks and front end in.
The main stand is also fitted; swinging arm and shockers installed and I've got the airbox loosely in, but then ran out of time (it was payback time - I had to mow the lawn!)
I was really looking forward to getting the new Avon Roadrunner tyres onto the rims, which I did do but also managed to pinch both tubes while I was doing it :( I couldn't believe it - after all the hundreds of times I've changed a pushbike tyre without doing this!
I was following the Haynes method, but I'm going to try again using my own way and see how that goes. The rims do look good with the tyres on though - even if they are a little devoid of air!
