This, what ever you do with a cheap bike, you will just end up with a cheap bike with nice parts on it.
Add to this the frame determines the BB type your next frame may not have the same BB type. (not so much of an issue if your frame was a single speed from the original design)
Add to this, whatever you do, it's almost always cheaper to buy a compete bike rather than in bits.
