Looking into building my own bike, and perhaps buding bikes for shits n grits. The only problem is i have very minimal knowledge of bicycle mechanics.
Are there any online sources or books to help introduce me to this? Thanks in advance!
Also, hybrid frame thread ig, bc that's all ive got in my collection.

Why do you want to build a bike rather than just upgrade an existing one?
And what do you mean by 'build' one? Do you mean you want to fabricate the frame yourself, too? If so, why, other than 'to do it'?

I want to into building frames. I know I said shits n grits last time but since I had last posted I realized that I want to become a mini-velo constructeur.

You should probably try to find someone to apprentice to, then.

snazzy.
OP here, when I said building a bike I dont mean fabricating the frame or any parts, i mean buying old frames and building from there.
Ive got one now that i will most def upgrade but id also like to have a few bikes to have fun with and sell eventually. Or build bikes for friends and be able to tune for them/myself.
Thanks for all of the info, friends.
