I've been (successfully) putting together my latest bikes, and riding them, without any major
mishaps. I do think though, that DIY without any specific knowledge of what you're getting yourself
into, usually = di$a$ter. i.e: Crank extracting tool/chainwhip/lockring too, headset press, etc...
all famous for the ability of pissing me the right off, and have made me spend stupid money.
I'm also quite stubborn, which mixed together with being able to figure out the way of 'things',
goes all the way with what bodieanddoyle said.
