Unless you're a mechanic or have extensive bike experience don't build your own.Honestly, yes. Most small local shops will build your bike for $100-150. Money very well spent, and likely cheaper than an ER visit when you realize your brakes don't work.Would I be crazy to assemble my own bike without any real experience?
It isn't all that complicated but the risk of screwing it up exceeds the gain.
