After lurking on the forums for while on placement last summer I decided to finally upgrade from my Mango fixed gear (the heaviest steel frame in existence). I've had this bike for 5 years and the only real upgrade on it has been a new wheelset I bought last year which made a huge difference in performance.
Due to having all my other hobbies either cancelled or limited I thought what better time to learn how to build a bike. I'm hoping to end up with a Pre Cursa for commuting and generally having a good time as well as making the Ratbike a slightly nicer machine.
Hopefully I'll be able to keep the thread updated with some photos and part lists as I get through the process.
