ASSEMBLING THE DRIVE TRAIN

Assembling the drivetrain inside of the frame was definitely one of the most tense moments - taking all of our custom machined components and putting them to the ultimate test. We tested the fit of the components together and made sure nothing was rubbing on the inside of the frame. Though the assembly operation required a Leatherman, allen wrenches, and several improvised hooks, we were able to put everything together fine. The fit of the parts erred on the side of too tight. Only a couple of points inside the frame had to be sanded away to allow the chain to clear.
