so basically i've wanted/needed a new bike for a while. and i thought i would get a fs for x-mas but my dad said he cant afford it right now. so ive started to think 2 options
option 1:
upgrade my current hardtail
-fork
-brakes
-pedals
-etc, not to much more though
or
option 2
start building a fs bike
- i know very little about building bikes but want to start doing it

so i need your help towards which option. how hard would it be for me to build a bike? i mean not myself put everything together but get the parts by themselves and mainly do it myself. also what would the cost be?
