I don't know what I'm doing
Moved to Austin Texas last year and there are bad ass trails for miles upon miles upon miles
I run and swim and play in the natural spring creek that runs down the middle and I thought this would be bad ass on a bmx.
I want to build a bike from scratch so I know everything about it before I go ride
I've got some money to spend over time and I am willing to wait for the goods
I bought a Hoffman condor frame it should be coming in a few days is this a "street frame" or does that matter?
What lines on forks, cranks, wheels, and what not, do I need to ride up and down hills with somewhat rugged limestone and rock outcroppings?
I don't need the neccessery 110% best but I don't want to go cheap help a brother out.
please and thank you

Start by looking through some old threads to see what else has already been suggested.

i think expatriate said it best. plus if he looks through old threads he can see everyones opinion not just a one sided view of a few peoples making it so he knows even more. plus our time wont be wasted by replying to the same type of thread.
