Just got a frame and gonna be building up my first bike. I know about different parts and their functions etc. I don't however, know how to do anything myself, apart from the basics like changing tyres etc. So headsets, bottom brackets, gears blablabla, I'll be learning. Any books or anything people can recommend? Or useful websites. Cheers

As nick says: they are the two best resources on the net. Well, apart from me and nick ;-)
Zinn's book is also good.0 -
Remember there are things best left to your LBS... like headset and bottom bracket fitting and facing (unless you have the proper tools of course)
