Definitely not
Bikes are hard because round tubing, thin wall, thin to thick, tricky fit-up, some hard to reach spots, expensive tubing you don't want to make mistakes on, and they're safety critical.
With a bit of practice you can certainly make a bike I'm sure but I'm just saying it will be frustrating as a first project. My house and those of my friends and family are littered with tables, chairs, hatstands, lamps, barbecues, etc. that were all part of the journey
