Hello from Indianapolis, IN!
I just bought a frame (just the frame, a Trek 1000), with the intention of building a full road bike. I have been riding a hybrid bike for ages...totally new to the road bike concept, but I was so jealous of all those road bikes zipping past me on the trails! And I have a few tools laying around the house, have the time being retired...so I thought I would build one from ground up. Any suggestions, especially the ones about where to start, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Probably the best place to start is with getting help. I’d suggest looking around for a co-op that can help with both parts and direction as well as tools. It’s not impossible to do it in your own garage…that’s how I learned…but having help saves you some headaches.
