Anyone got advice on parts? Thinking of doing this from the ground up.
Advice on parts depends on your price range. If you are building it from the ground up, you are going to need a decent amount to start off with, no matter what the build. The first decision would be steel (more flex and road comfort) or aluminum (stiffer, more responsive, but can feel many bumps). After riding both I now know I should have gotten aluminum to start off with, but it wasn't really in my budget at the time either. I would say that most people around these parts would say go with a steel bike. It all depends on what you are using the bike for, and how you feel riding on each material.
