Hi Chris.
Welcome.
All the information you'll need to build a bike from nothing is contained in these pages hidden between sarcastic comments from people who should know better. I've got six builds under my belt based on the knowledge I've gleaned. It can be done.
I think you've made a good choice (and most will agree) that if you're prepared to wait and take your time, you'll be able to source most (if not all) of the parts you'll need from the Classifieds and have a better bicycle than something off the peg.
Take photos and keep everyone updated, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
