first bike build.

[pirate69]

hey farkers,

I am looking to build up my first frame, ( going to build one for me and give the girl my old ride, better to recyle hey. ) anyway was wondering if anyone had some good hints about this process. But reall what i am looking for is a good forum, thread or u-tube etc.

This is my first build but i have done a little mechanic work over the years but this will be my first complete build. so any help would be appreciated.

Also any good suggestions to help me improve my wrenching would be nice also.

cheers fellow riders

"Measure twice - cut once" is a good one to remember. Also this:

depending on what kind on bike you want to build always be aware its expensive

I recomend you decide exactly how much you want to spend and budget your compentry acordingly.in most cases its actully cheaper to just buy the whole thing wether it be second hand or brand new ..

just somthing to think about
