I try and do all work myself now, apart from fitting headsets.
It's all pretty primitive stuff really. Mainly tightening/Loosening various bolts. The only part which I find daunting of any bike build is the bar tape - It's usually the last step of the build and you mustn't mess it up! Getting it right takes practice and patience.
Contador's Mech makes it look so easy.
