Sup, I have no clue what I'm doing but damn I could use a better bike and a guiding hand.

Currently commuting to work and everywhere else in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, USA on a 16 inch single gear folding bike I got for $75. I'm very happy with it, it's shittyness is very fun! But it's time to tier up. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that without buying a whole bike. That isn't very cool or cheap and I wouldn't know how to maintain it. Everyone here seems to know more about building cool bikes than I do so I'm here to learn.

Currently own 2 Adventurer folding bikes.
Want to build a speedy road bike for travel around my city and nearby small towns.
I also have a special interest in anything nonstandard, recumbents, bikes with fairings, folding bikes, that sort of thing.

Cheers!
