Hallo,

many thanks for your replys. I live in Germany, I will be buying online. The whole point of this, is to build the bike myself, a bit of a challenge as I am a physically handicapped person .

Hallo,

I'm fairly new to bike riding (59 years old), but I've taken it into my head to build a road bike. Naturally I have a couple of questions, such as :

what tools do I need?,
would I be better of buying a complete set such as the one from planet x?.
How do I know what frame to buy? I'm 6'2",
do the chinese make a frame large enough for me?
Can someone reccomend a video showing how to build a bike?

I really have virtually no experience of working on bikes, I've just got an urge to do this, and I'm hoping for some support from the members of this forum.

Kind Regards
John
