Who said girls can't be mechanically inclined? I build all my own bikes so I can only blame myself when something goes wrong. It is really a lot of fun and rewarding.

That Moots is beautiful! I just built up something very similar except it's a 29er with a steel fork.

Very nice bike, congrats!

that is cool! did you do the headsets and forks, too?

this past weekend a friend(DJBiker from mtbr)and I installed new chainrings, a chain, and a cassette on my bike(I got tools for Christmas). DJ showed me what to do, and he provided some muscle a few times, but I did most of it. I am pretty good with hand tools so it felt pretty natural to me(though I messed up the chain :eek: DJ bailed me out of that one). good lessons learned. next project: new cables and housing.

Nice IF! I need to work on building mine up too. I like your color choice :) Just curious, since it looks like you have a lot of seatpost sticking out too. What size did you get, and how tall are you? I'm worried that mine is too small for me.

Cool. Post back on what you think of the 29er. I'm interested..

very, very nice. Let us know how they ride. Also, nice to hear you are wrenching. I'm still learning.
