Building a bikes/frame choice?

[Robert_au]

I've been giving increasing thought to building a bike from scratch, from selected components rather than an 'off the shelf' bike.

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions as to frame selection, I've had a bit of a look at the Hillbrick web site and few others.

Any suggestions on compatability of cranks, groupsets, head stems etc ....

I'm relatively new to cycling and have only just starting giving this serious thought
