Can I have Your "Two Cents" To Start Off Right? (BUILD)
So, I mainly do vintage builds and just got a newer Scattante R-660 for long distance biking. I love working on them and having a nice, finished product. It took a decent amount of time to learn the little things like "Schwinn sold out to Walmart, so avoid..," "body welded derailleur hangers = better built bike," "carbon fiber & titanium bikes are lighter but ride rough," etc. I want to do a new MTB bike to ride trails. What are some things you wish you knew before your first part purchase/build??
