Hello,
After crumpling a frame a few weeks ago in a crash I find myself in the position of having a bike with full Ultegra but knackered frame so was thinking about doing a rebuild on a new frame. Only problem is I have never done this before, I fancy doing it so I then have a better knowledge of bike maintenance and a cheaper way of having a winter bike.
I am not going to have a lot of money to spend on this project as the new bike cost a little bit more than the other. So anyway I am after some advice of a good book that will help guide me and maybe some websites/you tube links and a good but cheap bike tool kit. I have a pretty comprehensive normal (as in non bike) tool kit but know there are some things that i don't have.
Any help would be much appreciated also if anyone knows of a good deal on road bike frames which will take a pannier that would be good as well
