Work was great overall. All our new Colnago's showed up. Kirk and I got an Air built and an Ace built. I got to pull out my new World Cup Cross frameset! So super excited to build it up. Did LOTS of gluing...again...and nothing new there.
The one hitch in the day was a Pinarello Paris build. Everything went well until... I measured all of the housing and got the rear derailleur cable run and routed through the internal routing via the downtube and did 3 test shifts then...SNAP CRACKLE POP!!! Suddently the shifting went to shit and I cussed myself. Thinking I missed something in the setup I retraced my steps and found that the internal housing stop on the downtube, the one that is made of aluminum and simply bonded to the inside of the frame via some sort of resin/adhesive, had broken free and dropped into the downtube. BUMMER! After attempting to fish the stop out for about a half hour I decided to call it. Its a brand new frame straight from the distributor so a phone call was made and replacement is on its way via 2 day air from NC. So...all good in the hood.
Tomorrow its another day at the shop with more gluing in store and stripping the broken Paris down to ship the frame back. Also doing a fit for a friend of mine on his new Cannondale EVO...see previous post.
