I'm a tinkerer too, but much of it takes place in my mind. Actually doing it can take a long time to get going. And as I say, I'mnot willing to set aside as much time for it these days--would rather spend it riding with my son. Though I will say that most of my favorite rides of the past 10 years have been used frames that I built up from scratch. In fact, I have a weird--it's not exactly an aversion, but a weird relationship with a brand new bike, whether complete build or new frame and fork. I suspect installing that rusty old stem shifter on my pristine new Clementine helped alleviate my new bike phobia a little.
