So my beautiful Appaloosa has arrived. I am practically foaming at the mouth as I type. As I am sure most of you are aware, Rivendell sends complete bikes mostly built with the exception of the stem, seat tube saddle and pedals. I originally planned on bring my bike to a shop to have them complete the build for me but after some shopping around, the shops will charge a full build fee which averages around $150. That is far too much for such little work in my opinion.
I am no bike mechanic. I have always enjoyed tinkering though so I have half a mind to attempt to put the rest together myself and then bring it to a shop to be tuned, which would cost much less than a "full build". Should I go ahead and give it a shot? I have access to the proper tools, I just do not know where to start and obviously do not want to damage anything in the process. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
