It's surely possible to drown in information on Alu/Carbon/Steel/Ti/Magnesium/whatever. In sinking for the third time I added some 'custom builders' links to http://www.lvrc.org/lnfr01.htm which between them have more than one could ever learn!

Finally got a pic of my new ride...it is nice and fast and responsive and accelrates well. I am not too keen on the wellgo pedals (came with bike) as they seem to click when chaning pressures on the pedals (eg taking off from lights).
The seat may also be a bit low (but is the same length from bb to seat top of mountain bike, so maybe I am just going loony. |

well u ride in different position on road/track/MTB different seat heights too. u should be able to place ur heal on teh pedal and freewheel backwards with out bobing on da saddle THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY as example i ide tarck as a aprinter so my road biek seat is a lot higher than normal were as MTB and made for different style of ridding thus the different set up on a road bike to see if ur seat needs to go back/foward place ur foot in the padal and move crank to 3'o"clock position and ur knee should line up with ur axle which should be teh sentre ball of ur foot and ur eyes noise should be about inline with ur handle bars or near there (GUIDES ONLY)
