Finally finished my first build after a year

This build took over a year to complete, and was very slow going due to random financial struggle, indecision, changing ideas about the build, and it being my first build ever.

The only original parts are the Frame, Fork, and front Skewer.

Shoutout to u/1994univega for doing the cable work, dialing in the brakes and shifting, and recommending a local wheel builder. Thank you so much for all the help near the end of the build!
