我是买零件自己装配的,如果你装过兼容机,就一定能装自行车.但需要一些专门工具,和做足research.我的旧车当commuter用,新车都是买新件装的.先定frame, frame的尺寸,geometry, BB 30 or traditional English thread BB, Braze on or clamp on Front deraileur, etc.然后选groupset, 像campy super record, SRAM red, Shimano Dura ace 都是顶尖赛车的groupo,但相对group set来说,wheelsets 更重要.有超轻的适合爬坡的轮组,有相对较重,但是非常aerodynamic的轮组,有carbon rim, carbon hub, ceramic bearing 的几千块的轮组.

The point I want to make is that I purchased most of the parts on Ebay or craiglist when I could find great deals.I spent short of $3100 to assemble my bike but if I bought from LBS(local bike shop), I would spend much more.
a few weeks back I found a really really good deal on pinkbike.com that a guy from Burlinton was selling a 53.5cm look 585 with campy record groupset and campy Neutron wheelsets. He only asked about $1500, which at least worth $2500. I hesitated as I have alrealy have 3 bikes so don't have rooms for another one. At the time I decided to buy it anyway the seller said a guy form NY have contacted first so they make appointment for him to pick it up.It's the end of story so I lost my chance to own an European classic bike with reputed campy parts, that I still regret today.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

This is my cyclocross bike that I bought from craiglist last winter, without the wheelsets. The guy selling me the bike used to work at a bike shop, so he used all top notch parts to assembele this bike. it's in very good condition. Frame is a brand new replacement from Ridley. the geometry allow me to ride in a more upright postion than my Giant so better suited for touring or sightseeing. Sram red crankset, FD, RD, SRAM 1070 cassette, Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost, Thomson X2 Elete stem, Carbon Noir straight flat bar, SRAM 10 speed flat bar shifter, TRP EuroX Carbon cantilever brakes, Ergon GX1 Grips.
although it's triple butted alum. frame, it's very light.
