Guide to building my own MTB?
Hi guys,
I'm planning to build my own dual-suspension MTB, and was wondering if anyone had a handy link to a guide?
One major concern that I've got is that I'll forget some small (but critical) component, and when I actually sit down to build it I'll then have to wait for another part to arrive! I've never done something like this before, and it's a bit of a project for fun ... as well as being able to build my dream bike.

Ourimbah DH ride day Sunday 13 Feb 2011
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
CCOMTB will be holding a Downhill social ride day on Sunday 13 February at Ourimbah.
This will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to have a go at downhill, but who isn't sure if they want to race. For more experienced riders it's a good training day to limber up for the season, and to show off that new race kit that Santa brought you.
