Nashbar touring frame build...


Everytime I build a bike, there that moment where you realize you need to order yet another part. This time, I found that the frame doesn't accommodate road brakes. Well, I could try and put long reach calipers on it, but I don't have any. So, I ordered some cheap v-brakes, and, after talking to forbes st the dojo, I ordered some new brake levers as my old ones won't be compatible with linear pull brakes.
I also had to order a front derailleur, as the frame doesn't have a braze point, and I don't have the right clamp.
So, I'm back to waiting for the ups man. I think I'll be able to build the whole thing in one swoop on the weekend. So long to wait.
