+1 .... seriously


If your post had started out along the lines of:

"I really like bikes, playing around with them, and have always wanted to do a complete build so I can spec out all the parts ...."

Then I would say "go for it" ........... but in this case I suspect you will spend twice as much as you think, and spend months working on it. (not that there's anything wrong with that ....)

If you decide to build it up, practice taking close-up pictures because you'll be asking questions everyday and no one will have the patience to try to understand your questions without good pictures.
