i want to make a urban attack bike, its slightly smaller then a mountain bike, and bigger then a bmx bike.

    Let a custom bike builder do it for you.
    I would suggest a Cove frame with an 8mm chainwheel and chain using custom hubs on a 36 spoke wheel that is extra wide.
    I would charge you 400 dollars to do this.[just build what you purchased]
    The frame and parts would cost a grand at least.
    Buying on line to build a custom bike is a bad idea.
    I’m sorry that I cannot help you more.
    I was hoping that my advice might make you do more research and rethink your thoughts.

    i would not reccomend builing one but instead buying one
    i would reccomend if you want a multi speed and front and rear brakeshttp://www.cannondale.com/bikes/09/cusa/…
    i would reccomend this if you want a rear hydralic brake, no front brake, gears, and a great forkhttp://www.cannondale.com/bikes/09/cusa/…
    and this one if you want a single speed, back brake only and a great forkhttp://www.cannondale.com/bikes/09/cusa/…

    If you have to ask us here for directions … you can not build your own bike.
    Head to your local bike shop and buy a bike. Learn how to do basic repairs from there. Maybe you’ll be able to build your next bike.

    http://pricepoint.com is a good place to start. Building your own bike is rewarding but it will cost you about triple of what a similar ready-made model will cost you.
