For your safety: the headset compression bolt(vertical) should be secured BEFORE the stem bolts.
Ride Safe! =)

how many speeds did you make your bike? I restored mine to an 8 speed. I had to spread the chainstays and dropouts out with a car jack since it was 7 speed and there wasn’t enough spacing for 8. Then the derailleur hanger broke along with part of the frame so pulled the parts and threw the frame out. so sad, was a nice bike

This is fantastic. I have probably watched it quite a few times now. I just picked up a ’91 3.0 frame that I am going to rebuild. Do you know if the rear spacing will accomodate 9 and 10 speed drive trains? That is to say, is it 125mm or 130mm?
April 20th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Not sure of the size, but my rear cassette is a 9 speed. It fits.
