Just about any web bike shop can build you custom....you need to decide what your budget is, than it's a snap from their. Come up with a budget, and I can assist you with what can be had for the money. If you go with a HT frame, and can live with 8 speed components, you can get a lot of bike for the money.

I am kind of a novice to cycle building. I need to know what is nessicary for building a Multi-Speed Road Touring bike. From there by using suppilied directions I can figure out where the ends and outs go. The frame that I was planing to use this frame: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...hi%3D%26fvi%3D1
These tires
http://cgi.ebay.com/MICHELIN-PRO-RA...1QQcmdZViewItem
These Wheels
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...hi%3D%26fvi%3D1
And this fork
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...focusZbsQQfviZ1

Kinesis 7005 Aluminum Frame
Kinesis Carbon Pro Fork
Ritchey Comp Stem
Ritchey Comp Alloy Micro Adjustable Seatpost
Cane Creek AHeadset Threadless Headset
Aluminum Alloy Seatpost Clamp
-------------------------------------------------


Why are you looking to another carbon fiber fork ?

Best regards.

That was a mistake. I didn't want to put a link to a fork.

Also, would Shimano components, and either Disk brakes or traditional brakes be logical?
