You may do it differently with your 3rd build Lee. :laugh:

For me it depends on what parts i have.,

I dont have a bike stand so i find it helps to build to a particular order that helps me construct the bike making it easier to put together.

So for eg if i have all the parts but not the BB i wont start the build it as i always start with the bb & the headset , simply because if the frameset has been powdered a lot of the time i'll need to get the dremmel out to slightly take back the finish on the inside to fit these parts parts which can get messy. I just find that its good to get this out of the way first & clean up the crap.

 Usually next in will be seatpost seat /  stem & bars before I flip the bike over in order to fit the wheels crank chain pedals & finally flip it back to fit the brakes & grips ????

Dont think I have OCD but I just find it a reasonably practical way to put a bike together without a stand,  :daumenhoch:

I reckon your spot on there Cal :)
That's pretty much how I do it , but I never start building
Untill I've got all the bits  :daumenhoch:

Pretty much all my builds have come together in the same process, starting with frame and forks obviously, then it's:

Headset
Seat clamp
Seat post
Stem
Bars
Seat
Grips
Wheels and tyres
Brakes
Crank/pedals/spider/ring
Chain

Don't know why I do it like this, but it works for me. :daumenhoch:

But it won't work out like that if your after rare parts, say if your looking for a headset then your seat comes up etc etc.
