If NIB is the better way to go I have no problems with that, just scouring for deals is all!
I also expanded/edited the post you read to include the link about the two Leader bikes.. I don't know if you had any advice on that front either.
First, you will still need to buy a SS freewheel to mount on the hub, which is about $25. As to the Leaders, I have a 721tr, which is similar to a Cretin / Cure and like it for me, but I'm only 135 lbs and have skinny tubular tires on it. I'm not sure how wide you can go with them in tire sizing. Also, they don't have water bottle cage mounts, which you do get on the Kilo WT and Fyxation Eastside. I'm still going to recommend that you go with a steel frame for your first bike.
