Anything specific to you that you must have on your own ride: I decided to go a different route this time around when it came to building my new bike. I usually keep some things the same on every bike, but this time I went with a totally different set up. This bike rides great!

Advice to beginners on bike set ups? Working on your bike is a lot like riding, in that it's a constant learning process. Use common sense and learn from your mistakes.... and don't forget the grease!
