brakemeister

are you sure its good advice for a beginner to start with a twenty ? Bottom bracket ? derailleur equipped donor with 74 mm front axle ... 406 wheels.. and the lsit goes on .... ??? Just sayin ..I know you guys have spend years and some sizable cash in your twenties surely a labour of love ...I admire... but how much do they really weigh ? and how is that braking ? You have good 3 speed wheels just laying around the house ...
I am just sayin .... I dont think this is a real good idea for a beginner on a budget .... If you want to do this right its gonna be expensive, well worth it if you see the above examples... but...??
