Make friends with the techs at your local bike shop. I've built about a half dozen bikes (including a Hunq) and still get confused. The beauty of bikes - especially the relatively low tech ones that don't have indexed shifting, internal cable runs, etc. - is that they're pretty intuitive; there aren't many problems that you can't solve yourself with the right tech books (the Parks is really helpful), decent tools, and lots of patience. However, putting them together is not without its frustrations, and it really helps to have a qualified human being nearby to ask questions of. Keep in mind, too, that virtually parts are standard size, thread, etc., but that there are lots and lots of standards; if you find that a piece simply won't fit or thread easily, don't force it and consider the possibility that the piece you have isn't quite the right size. Also, when you build the Hunq, make sure that they didn't paint over some of the internal threads. It happened on mine and, I understand, on others', too. Good luck, Kevin
