question is, should I just get it, and upgrade all the components as i go? lastly
getting a new frame, then selling the lager as a complete bike. at least it gets me
riding a bike again, and it's not a complete pile of dung? will i get rocks thrown
at me in dark allies cause i am not rocking a 1000.00 dollar bike?
I wouldn't worry about street credit, it will get you no where but in a larger deficit. Find a bike, find a deal, something that will ride, like a few of the first posts suggested, just ride.
EDIT: I only mention street credit because after several posts it seems you are concerned with that.
Get your bike, find out through experience what you don't like about it, upgrade.
