By the way, FSA headsets come with a random extra part that really hung me up, as it doesn't fit well onto the bottom cup.

Now that Aeloung's roughly together, I need to get the following parts:
4 spacer washers for chain ring
8' brake cable (with sideways-cylinder catch)
8' brake cable housing
2 chains
1 700x35c rear
1 700x40c? front
2 tubes
1 700c rim
pedals
frame saver rust inhibitor
