This frame was beautiful out of the box. The finish is this amazing red metallic pearl coat or something finish. And the paneled down and seat tube just add another layer of class. S-shaped stays and gusseted head tube junction. Very nice. Still trying to decide why the cable routing for the front shifter is on the drive side, but I'm sure there is a reason.
My only complaint is the plain text used for the Holeshot logos and the website written on the chainstay. Too plain to do the other logos, and the frame in general, justice.
So, on to the build. Put on all the small parts, seat collar, BB cable guide, etc. And moved on to the fork. Installed the start nut in the fork, then measured and cut the steerer, removed the starnut from the scrap and installed it in the right place. I have a habit of getting ahead of myself. No harm done though.
After getting the fork squared away, put all the headset parts together. Put the stem on tightened it down and ended with this:
Can't wait to get this beast finished.
