Bikes: MBK Super Mirage 1991, CAAD10, Yuba Mundo Lux, and a Cannondale Criterium Single Speed

So I test rode a CAAD 10 the other day, and really like it, but I'd also really like my next bike to have Campy (pref Chorus or better). Any suggestions on my best course of action?

Option 1; Buy CAAD frame, fork on ebay, Campy group, campy-ready wheels, other bits etc separately, assemble.

Option 2: Buy CAAD bike at lbs/rei, buy campy group, wheels etc separately, sell shimano/SRAM group on eBay.

Option 3: Buy CAAD bike, buy Campy bike, switch everything around, keep Campy equipped CAAD, and sell sramano equipped otherbike on eBay/CL/to lbs.


Factors to consider;
1) This'll be a pita for all involved.
2) BB compatibility.
3) headsets might not transfer (who'll notice?)
4) I could very easily get burned/left with a lemon on my hands when it comes time to ebaying items.


Thoughts?
