Seat Post.
Insert the seat clamp, then the post. Grease the
heck out of the part of the post that will be in
the frame to keep it from rusting together. Then
put the seat on. I then clamp it in the bike
stand using the post, but thats up to you..

Install Headset
Install the headset first. I install the cups
using a large bolt, some washers and a nut. The
presses it in to place. There is also another
instructable I put on here that details the exact
process for this step if you are not familiar.
Grease the cups up, then press the race on. I
bang it on with a adjustable wrench.

Fork
Ok put the headset together, grease the bearings,
put your stem and any spacers you are going to
use on the fork and make a mark with a marker.
This is where you are going to cut the steerere
tube. NOTE If you have a threaded stem, then just
try not to cut it, make it easier, just use some
spacers.

 Tuning
So you can run your cables to your brakes and
derailleur now. When setting the rear one up you
want to first set the limits. There are two
screws on the back of the derailleur, the lower
one is the inner (biggest) gear and the higher
one is the outter, Remember this "Linner
Houtter". By setting the limits you keep the
chain from going up into the spokes or down in to
space between the dropout and the smallest
gear. Then you can fine tune your derailleur by
using the barrell adjuster. The key is to get the
teeth on the pulley to line up with the teeth of
the gear you are suposed to be in.

Test It
You should be ready to test ride it now. Double
check everything is tight, check the brakes, the
cables, the bar and the stem. Ride it and have
fun.

Commuting
So I built this up for commuting to work
on. Some of the things I added were lights and
fenders, but most importantly I added pinhead
locking skewers. They use a fancy keyed removable
quick release. I don't want my wheels or seat
jacked...
