I think with a brand new frame, I'd be itching to ride it. If it were my first crack at building up a bike, I'm sure it would take much longer to build up completely than having a shop build it. Also, all the hiccups that accompany a beginning mechanic would confound the time. I'd surely not want to have to make several adjustments after several test rides to get everything dialed in. I agree with Joe on this one. If you're inclined to learn how to wrench, do it on a bike you don't mind having in the workstand more than you'd be wanting to ride it. David Chicago
