I guess I'll just have to go with a nicer frame (Bare Knuckle maybe?) to make this worthwhile or pick some cheaper parts for the Valencia/Traitor frame. I already have 3 off the shelf bikes (Jamis Coda Comp, Jamis Sputnik, & an older Nishiki road bike.) I'd probably get rid of the Sputnik after building this new bike though. I know how to do all the basic maintenance as well- I just have never built a bike up from scratch.
