Yes I am a bit over my head but who didn't start out a little over their head? That's why I'm here trying to learn about it.
I do take pride in doing something myself without taking the normal girl route of buying it complete. I want to be able to work on my bike myself.
Perhaps for my first bike I can try to get a frame with the stem/quill, seat post and BB included to help alleviate some of the stress of finding appropriate parts to fit.
