I recently bought a new frame and a build kit. I have checked on all of the parts in the kit and they will all work on the frame. Does anyone know of a good mechanic and/or shop to put this together for me at a decent price? (In Seattle) Thanks in advance!

Not sure what they charge, but I'd check with Fluidride for sure.:thumb:

Do it yourself. It's really not that hard.
Not to take anything away from shop business.
But, by building it yourself, you'll better understand how to McGyver it out on the trail when it breaks. And, it will.
Or, build it yourself and see if they will allow you to watch while they do the final tweaking of cables/hydraulics(if warranted).

ya, build as much as you can, then for the stuff that you dont know how to do, or dont have the tools to do, take that to the shop. one, it will keep the cost down, and two it will teach you about your bike.

most bike shops charge around $100 for a build if you bring it to them... if you buy it from them then it's free.
