Good job man! Building your first bike can be a long and winded road, but once you get past all the hurdles and have your bike done, you will feel very attached to it. Congrats!

Congrats!Totally, not to mention all the skills and know-how you collect along the way. Comes in handy when it's time to work on or repair your bike.
That's a good point, most of the shops around here employ mostly young guys that often don't seem to take their job very seriously. The older men working there, who have more experience, usually end up managing and not working on the bikes anymore. Plus, the shops around here seem to work on and sell mountain/road bikes like 95% of the time... so yea, I worry they dont always have the specifics of bmx bikes down. For these reasons, and more, I've always worked on my bike instead of having the shops do it. Plus it's a point of pride and "feels good man" to maintain your own stuff.
