I dump colossal amounts of money to throw at bikes to make them perfect. But none of them are as perfect as I want them to be.

My advice is to find something as close to what you want, and get that. Don't shortcut yourself, don't get too out of your head crazy about it. Hanging out here can drive you bonkers. Then you start trolling eBay. Next thing you know you're broke with a basement full of parts that you fully intend to use, but are probably going to sit for a long time.
