I arrived home Monday night after my class (CPCU) to find the final puzzle piece to my Cross Check build. A large box filled with custom built wheels and other goodies. With all the pieces of Voltron collected I went to my local bike shop last night to have them combined. Turns out they can't churn out bikes like 80's cartoons can assemble giant mecha robots. That is to say in under a half hour.I did get put on the schedule though, Friday afternoon to be exact. If all goes well I should be on riverside Saturday morning with new steel between my legs (taint piercings are gross). My LBS even had green cloth tap. I searched the web high and low and could not find any. Apparently it is the tamagotchi of the rando cycling world. Online at least, leave it to the local guys to have to one thing I could not find on the world wide web.
Below is a picture of all of the parts assembled in my Florida room:
Pretty ain't they!I have been recommending bike related sites as of late because I have cross fever, but I am still keeping up with video games too (Burnout Paradise mostly). In that vain I would point you dear reader in the direction of GFW radio. It is a PC gaming podcast and by far the funniest of all the podcast I listen to on a weekly basis.

Schweetness. So did you drop off all the parts then? Did they say how much time a complete assembly usually takes?
Yes dropped them off yesterday and they will build it and be done on Friday this week. Assuming all I got all the parts right and did not miss anything of course.
