Good bike building site(s)?
I don't know how many people here have used pcpartpicker.com before, but is there a site like this for bikes? Best parts of that site for me are:
I'm not too savvy on bike building sites, but I'm sure there's a slick one out there. Any suggestions?
- part compatibility: if i pick a certain motherboard, only ram that is compatible is listed
- graph of price over time: for each component i get to see how various online retailers change the price of it over time. that way i know to hold off till black friday to get certain parts
- list of basically every part: if i wanted a hard drive in my comp, i get a list of just about every manufacturer

This site??? Post what frame you are building and plenty of people here can tell you what you need
But...as long as you have specs on frame (bottom bracket size and standard, headset size, etc) you should be able to figure it out

It doesn't have everything you want, but Wrench Science: Custom Bicycle Builder Online - Road, Mountain, Cyclocross, Track Parts might be the best out there.

There is a lot of good information on the Sheldon Brown website. I often add the name "Sheldon Brown" to any parts compatibility searches.
