Hi Carl - the front rack is a Mark's Rack (Nitto M1) and the basket is a

It might be worth noting that I wear biking shorts under the knickers. Aerotech

Hey Dan,
Absolutely you should give it a go! These four things- stem, seat tube,
saddle,and pedals- will be a fun and easy intro to wrenching your own ride.
As with any new learning, take it slow, don't force anything, and don't
overtighten your bolts. In the end, you will have learned a couple
36 hole Atlas rim laced to Deore XT hub by Peter White. All silver, about
2,000 miles, hub is smooth and rim is true. $125 plus shipping.
Buy Drew’s front and my rear and have a nice hand built wheel set for a
reasonable price.

I am also in the ~150 lb range, and for my A Homer Hilsen, I never felt any
flex until I loaded about 20-25 lbs of groceries in the back. The bike felt
sprightly with the weight in the back. I don't know if the spring-like
feeling I got riding out of the saddle is planing, but it sure felt good.

So my beautiful Appaloosa has arrived. I am practically foaming at the

complete bikes mostly built with the exception of the stem, seat tube

Just as in that fantastic bike (your Appaloosa), and its great components,
it's OK to invest in good tools, too.
You will be doing this again.
And then again for friends.
And it will be a meditative pleasure each time, with good tools, great
components, and fantastic bikes.

And to add to what has already been said, try to develop a touch for how
tight fastening and fittings need to be. You don't want to leave them
insufficiently tight so that they slip or come unscrewed, but you also
shouldn't do them up absolutely bar tight, which risks bending or breaking
things
Congrats on the Appaloosa. You got this!
I have to say that I'm sorry for the prices you're seeing, $150 to put
these few elements together out of a shipping box wherein another
professional mechanic completed the build and then partially disassembled
the bike for packing strikes me as unfair.
Another +1 for doing it yourself.

Dan,
You should DEFINITELY do it yourself... but not to save money! You will
learn a great deal, but of course "tuition comes in many forms." You will

I’ve been doing all my bike building for 40+ years. I taught myself a fair
bit from books, but learned more hanging out in a friend’s bike shop.
There’s a lot that’s not intuitive, but we have the advantage of YouTube
videos now. A few tips:

Agree with the Boston note above. I'm in Berlin, where it's dark half the
year. Just about everyone rides with a dynamo here. Hard to buy a bike
without one -- and I will always have one while I live here. So easy, no
hassles...

Ted, you have motivated me to finally put some pants in the shopping cart. I am tired of leggings. They aren’t pants. But if you don’t want seams biting into you while riding, they make sense. But I’d rather have more appropriate clothing for when I’m biking to a business and not just heading to do
Piaw,
A headlight that's bright enough to illuminate the road ahead would be far
too bright for fixing a flat. Why not carry a Petzl for fixing flats or
other mechanicals? Then you also have both hands free.

The Velogical dynamos are not recommended for use with lights from Wilfried
Schmidt Maschinenbau, Busch & Müller and Supernova. The Velogical can
produce more power than current production headlights can handle. So if you

I used to sell the Dymotec bottle dynamos from Busch & Müller, but they

I can't comment on suitable night time headlights as I only use a AA
powered Planet Bike light for daylight visability use. For a rear I use the
same branded Superflash 65, it runs on 2 AAA batteries. I use a mix of
alkaline and rechargeables(Sanyo Eneloop). The rear is terrific on blinky.

I have lots of battery lights in the garage but I just got a dynamo and
love it. I'm right outside Boston and half a year's riding is in the dark
and cold - plus I actually like riding the boring suburbs at night, fewer
cars, less noise, etc., and this makes it so much easier (and safer). I was
