The Hostess Twinkies and Pepsi have been ordered. The pizza shop below me is on standby. We are a couple of days from the build as "da crank is in the house!"

The crank arrived yesterday back from being stripped and repainted. It lost 1 gram between here and the paint shop somewhere on the prairies. A gram is a gram.

Like the last build we did in 2007, we will probably weigh the stuff before hand to see how much we didn't carry over to the final build.

I will try to weight the components (sans wheels) and post these weights sometime tomorrow. Sunday looks like that is when we will try to do the build as it should be raining. You won't catch me out in the rain as the last time I was caught out (which was last Sunday), I pooched a set of ceramic BB cups. Not really interested in doing that again.
