• well it would be fitting bb and headset
    Borrow a tool, a hammer and a plank of wood

    running a die down the forks and fitting them
    is this necessary?

    wrapping the bars
    Fun part

    fitting crank and downtube shifters, front mech, seatpost, and cables
    you should really be doing these yourself- not difficult and will add to your knowledge

    No, I have never wrapped bars, it's my first road build and I don't want to make a pigs ear of it
    Give it a go, Bartape can be as cheap as a fiver for two rolls and you'll never have to pay for it to be done by your LBS (because you will certainly need to replace it soon enough).

    Good luck though, enjoy it
