Hey all, I am just starting my first build of a bike. I have some maintenance background and am comfortable with auto mechanics so wanted to try my hand at a bike.

I currently have the frame from a early 90's GT Outpost Trail but I want to do a more road style build on it with either Shimano Tiagra or 105 components. + a set of carbon rim brake wheels.
I know I need to get the whole groupset but am a bit perplexed at whether or not i NEED a press fitting if that is already in the bike as it came as well as how to go about making the change to threaded if possible.

I would appreciate any and all help people can offer from reputable sources to tips on my specific issue or even just general advice for making this go well for me!
