BTX 695 build

I can't give it much of a review yet. Still need to get out and race it. Will probably do that tomorrow. But I can confirm that it feels really stiff and solid.

A few thoughts on the build:

The dropouts are a bit shorter than I'd like but they handle 60x14 to 62x19 fine with my chain length so that's a solid range of gears.

The little screws that hold the dropout plates in were loose when I built it up and that messed with me for a little while before I figured out why the wheel kept slipping and why I was losing tension.

The forks aren't nearly as wide as I expected given the wide seat stays.
