Wanted: Help Building a Road Bike

no practical help tho. i would suggest going to Cranks workshop for the tools - or Baker St. Bikes. they are going to build mine up and i reckon whatever the cost (not very much i imagine) it will be worth it, as gears are a mystery to me.

went to cranks the other week, they don't have the outboard bb tool, but may use them for everything else, just feel a little bad as i don't think its aimed at people building up 1k road bikes.

Went to baker street for a quote, to build a bike from a box of parts £90, that's a little steep for my liking, so i'll see if i can find any other options.

I'll wait a bit to see if other people can help.

thanks for the advice
