Reason I mention this is that a few sessions with someone experienced can do a lot in getting past the newbie starting questions quickly. Soon after the questions become far more focused and situational. Andy
Ha, yes there is. Its who taught the class I took last winter when I built my lugged road frame. Jeff Bock.
I actually saw him last weekend at bike expo and we talked a short bit(he was super busy with people admiring his bikes that were surrounded by a sea of carbon and electronic shifting, it was funny).
I plan to hit him up if I get stuck on anything during the build. I find this forum(and others like velocipede) fascinating due to the abundance of collective knowledge. Its very interesting to hear different approaches because one thing I have certainly learned is there is more than 1 way to skin the framebulding cat.
