Building up the Bike

I almost have everything I need for the new bike, built from eBay. I picked up a VeloVie Vitesse 300 frame and fork the other day. I am waiting on a ControlTech Carbon iPost and an XRP handlebar to arrive.

I started building up the frame, but managed to screw up the left TruVativ crankarm. So its back to my old Shimano Ultegra BB and triple crankset. But no matter, the bike should be light enough.

I am debating on whether to buy a fork cutting guide or just using two hose clamps. I am totally out of money after my latest online shopping foray, so hose clamps may be the only way.
