Day 4 - Finishing the frame build

The frames are very close to done.  Today we are going to add the braze-ons for the water bottle cages, cable stops, the rear brake calipar, and Katrina's rack mounts. 

Since my bike is more of a racing geometry I opted not to have the rack mounts.  I am also only getting two water bottle cages. 

Katrina's bike is going to be more for road biking and some light touring so her frame will have 3 water bottle cages and rack mounts. As mentioned before has more tire clearance.
Also because the heat has caused the tubes to shrink slightly we then had to ream out the seat post tube to make sure the seat post would fit.

We also took a break to challenge Tim to a game of ping pong before finishing our bikes.  He slaughter me 4 to 21 but Katrina managed to lose by one point.
