Got the BB delivered today, and while i am definetly sure i am going to be worrying about chainline soon, it all installed smoothly. Already got the shifters fastened with the oilslicked Risk screws (

Still not gonna be putting this thing between my legs till i get a headset and still haven't sorted out a 12spd cassette.
Just threw on a few more parts and had a look. Apologies for shitty pics! Everything is wrong on the bike, not just those weird 650B wheels which i have to run with a 15->12mm adapter.
I should offer an in-depth look at all the little pieces of prime-time-classic chinerbike bits-and-bobs the crankset is made out of! We've got Risk, Riderace, Tanke, IXF, VXM and Hassns all in one. I am going to look into anodizing a set of raw 700c aluminium rims somehow. A few big chunks are in place already and we'll soon be operational, but perfecting this build will take quite some time.
We are obviously far from done
