My son Henry’s 1st build; pākē frame-set.

Oops! Ohh well.  When I said “30 yrs from now you’ll more fondly remember it as the night your father put the first paint ding in your new frame rather than it being a perfect build,“  he smiled.  He understands the anxiety of the first blemish is behind him now.  We were unable to finish when we realized we had the wrong headset; Richard gave me a 1 inch, not the 32mm.

It’s a great reward; putting a bike together together.
