It's very true Nhaat, as a bike mechanic you can make loads of money from numptys who don't know anything and either mess up and need help or are willing to pay £10 to change a puncture and if that is your attitude then good for you. I would always come to you to get gears setup, suspension forks serviced and any other 'big' job but to make the assumption that anyone who asks for help building a bike automatically needs to throw money at you rather than buying tools and learning skills that they can use is pretty bad.
