Bike building 101

First you take a bunch of parts like these
Next find a frame such as this LeMond
Attach head set, stem, spacers, front fork and front brake to the head tube
Attach crank set and bottom bracket to bottom bracket shell, front derailleur to seat tube, rear brake to seat stays and rear derailleur to derailleur hanger
Once everything is attached you install cables and housing, wheels and chain. When all is said and done you get a complete ridable bike.

Now that you are done take advantage of the nice weather and go ride.

I rode my unicycle today. I had to pump up the tire first. Does that count?

Nice job on the bike. You need to add some picks of you working on the bikes.
