Hello everyone! : )

I'm new here, looking for any suggestions and advice's which help me to build my dream bike!

Few word about myself.
I'm a foreigner, 21 yo, living. working and riding in London.
I'm sorry for grammar mistakes etc!

Couple weeks ago I found photo - somewhere on tapiture.com - of stunning bike build by Worksman Cycles and Bushwick Bike Shop for Core77 (some kind of design magazine). There's only 25 of them so I'm pretty sure I can't buy one simply because it will be too expensive.

This is how it's look like:

Budget - less than 1k.
I'v started to look for the part's from this detailed picture:

By far I found frame on builders page
http://www.worksmancycles.com/

Obviously not all the part have to be exactly the same, so if you guys have any suggestions fell free to contribute ; )

Frame cost - 184$ (without shipping cost's) which I think is not that bad.

I would prefer to build this bike by my own hand's even if I dont know how to do this, I will learn : )

Looking for any help and advice!

If you're particularly wedded to the bent top tube, consider a steel Kona Humu (i.e. <2010), one changed hands on here for £100 complete, another for £150. That will get you riding while you think about how to throw £800 at upgrades :-)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
