Unauthorized 45 rpm & Revelation RLT Ti

Building a Unauthorized 45 rpm.
I start with the bleeding of hydraulic brakes.
I will use Shimano brakes for the first time in three years. Levers are XT 785 and saint calipers that are actually over performed but got them from my friend.
Funnel is set. 
Caliper is set on a jig that is made by myself.
But oil mess up everywhere because an explosion happened from the injector ...
Crank arms are attached.
Double checked for the bleeding.
Finished.
Damper side and air spring side

Built up the bike, I felt a little that the compression is too strong when ending of the stroke. I doubted too much oil put into the damper. Again I disassembled the fork and checked amount of the oil. It was difficult to put exactly the same amount of oil 133ml for the  2011 Revelation  RLT Ti.
That looks so old school. The seat tube angle is more slack than the head angle. I will ride a hard tail bike for the first time in years. I will know the good or bad when ride next time.
