Newb in Vancouver...will have ++++questions.

[hoop71]

Hello from Vancouver, Canada.

Been wanting to buy a cruiser for sometime and that time is now.

Nothing out here that really gets me going right now. It is either the wrong colour or has wrong components(I want a 3 speed and would like a front disc brake). So I think I have decided that I may try to do a build with the Felt Canvas Frame Kit.

I am not that mechanically inclined but not an idiot either, so would this be a project I could undertake? How difficult is it to assemble a bike from scratch?

Also what would be the best forum to post all the technical questions I would have?

Like I said, I will have alot of questions an hopefully you guys will have the answers.

What are some of the better online sites for ordering parts?

Cheers,
Dan
