Hello all,
I wanted to get the community's opinions (or at least start a discussion about) the merits to building your own road bike from all the bits and pieces. I'm looking to start a long term, piece-by-piece project...purely for the fun of it.
I have no
experience with bike maintenance, but am reasonably adept with tools (and can read how-to guides like the dickens!). I'm not under the misconception that this will save me money...I'm fully aware that it will end up costing way more than if I'd just bought a new bike BUT
I thought it would be a great experience.
Summary: I'm really just looking for opinions/thoughts/horror stories/success stories/humorous antidotes (not anecdotes)/tips
for how to accomplish this behemoth (at least from my vantage point) task.
Thank you.
p.s. If it's not abudantly clear, I'm new here. So, hello everyone!
