Weight Cheapie (Chinese crabon fun)

Definately get a torque wrench and assembly paste. A search on here should bring up some threads.

I would do most of the building yourself and have a shop do:

• cutting down forks
  
• BB/crank installation
  
• *probably *headset (especially if you're get the forks done anyway)
  
  
  
  
  

I'm sure BLB have no problem with Chinese carbon...

Although I wouldn't trust them with so much as changing a tyre.

It's best to learn how to do it yourself and to buy a torque wrench but I mean get the carbon checked over :)

Also carbon assembly grease is useful to have around.

The only two jobs I've had done by BLB were both excellently done*. One was free, the other had some cheeky "extras" such as a chain and crank bolts that I didn't ask for.

• Phil BB installation
  
• fixed cog tightened
