Re: First Ever Build
First of all: welcome to the club of bicycle-nutters.
Second: can't see no pics,so there's gone something wrong with that.
Third: Ruffcycles frames are cool frames for a reasonable price.
When you're a tall guy, a factory frame can prove to be a little small/short, so you might be forced to extend a standard frame or build one yourself.
I don't know where you're from (USA,Europe,Australia?), but that could influence the availability of certain parts.
Normally a 3-speed coasterhub is good enough for most bikes, unless you want something with disc-brakes or a hub with more gears.
And last, but not least: the cash-flow is a major factor in this case (how much money can you spend?)
Just read yourself to death on this forum and it will all become clear before your very eyes.
Good luck and let us know, if you start a project.
Be cool. 8)
