Any pointers for a complete noob?

bear in mind that there is only so much money that it's worth spending on an older bike (I wish I was more able to follow this advice!)

^This in spades my first conversion cost a lot more than it was worth and a lot more than a better equivalent by the time I was done, so always keep it in perspective.

UTFS and read up on things first. Get a general idea and then ask specific questions as you go, here is a helping start:

- Mechanics/Fixing Website List: http://www.lfgss.com/thread19840.html (there is a very good video in here from FGG which helps explain the beginnings of fixing and converting an older road bike)

**- Fisher Price Thread: **http://www.lfgss.com/thread740.html

Enjoy.
