Default Help request - need to swap frames!

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if I could contract someone proficient at bike assembly to help me out! I am getting a new frame this week, and I'd like to swap my parts over.

However, I am completely useless when it comes to installing new cables, and I no longer have a BB tool. I may prove to be semi-useless at other points in the swap, but that's yet to be determined.

Is there anyone in the OC area that could help me? If so, let me know! Compensation in the form of a bite and some brew!

I'm available during the day if you need some help.

I've got pretty much any tool you might need and have been building/repairing bikes forever.

Test ride trails right down the street.

Good looking out Gage. I'm the same way when it comes to this stuff, I can see myself putting this exact thread up if I had a new frame.

You guys are the best...thanks so much! Expect PM's in the next day or two when I get that shiny new beast in the mail!

tkblazer...you are SUPER close, I'm right on the other side of Harbor, I can throw a rock at that hotel next to Joe's Crab Shack from my front door!

I am impatient to ride it so I will try for this week, but we'll see. Thanks again!

You guys should knock Sean's bike out to head out over to Los Sanchez for some carne asada and a beer after.

I do miss all the local eats in that area of GG.

Hmmm...maybe we can have a couple people come help knock this thing out on Thurs, then do a short test ride and/or grab a bite to eat? Make a mini-GTG out of it??

I will post again and send PM's after I have both my old bike and my new frame here. Looks like I also need to order a new front der. and geta seatpost shim, unless one of you guys happens to have a 31.6 post lying around or a 34.9 top-swing XT/R.

Looks like the build may be happening Thursday in the Lake Forest area (Eric's place). I have NOT checked with Eric yet, but perhaps if anyone else wants to drop by and help out, maybe that would be a possibility?

If all goes well, maybe a little ride afterward? PM me and let me know if you're available! It's probably gonna be during the day.
