Rightio, pretty much as per the title: how do you get started on an idea or overall philosophy for a bike?
I've just purchased a '94 Pine Mountain in quite good nick, but wanted to gradually change bits and bobs. Gear-wise, I wasn't happy with the brakes and shifters, so that side of things I'm quite clear on what I want to do, but aesthetically I'm scratching my head as to where to go. Do you guys and girls (assuming you're not just trying to go original spec with everything) look for a piece - a stem, some bars, a seat, some hubs - that will help inform the rest of your decisions as you go, or do you go magpie and be more ad hoc about the process?
I'd be really interested and grateful to read how you go about it.
