When I read the title, I thought you were planning to build some weird cross-genre machine, like a fat-bike with Chorus 11, or a full-suspension road fixie. As it turns out, you're just building a bike. I did this for the first time back when friction shifting meant that component compatibility wasn't really an issue. and I have built every one of my bikes since. Ask questions, watch youtube, and don't spend money on any tool or component until you're absolutely sure it's right for its intended purpose.
