I'm decided to upgrade my brakes to avid mechanicals.
My bike is a Trek 3700, I know it's not the greatest by any stretch of the imagination, but I wanted a beginner bike that I can buid some skills and get introduced to the sport before spending lots of $$ for a really nice bike.

Once I get my 'really nice' bike I'll probably move the avid's and any other upgrades over to that bike eventually.
Now the question . . . what do I need to know about compatibility/fitment? Do the brakes work on any frame? Do they work on my frame?
Also, how hard is the install? I'll most likely attempt it myself at first and if I can't I'll take it to a shop as a last resort.
Thanks
