Other option if you really like the Pake and want to learn a bit, buy something used off Craigslist with parts you like to ride now and get yourself a Pake frame and move things over/upgrade as needed. A good wheelset and crankset are what will eat up most of your budget so if you found something used with wheels and cranks you like, the Pake frame is a bargain. Maybe find some sort of coop/bike shop with tools you can borrow and make it a learning project.
Otherwise, hello Kilo tt.
