More money, yes. But there is something DEEPLY satisfying about starting with this...

And after some rubbin, and sandin, and grindin, and bending, and polishing, then you get to pedal around on a bike that YOU tailored to YOUR tastes and needs instead of a generic "shelf" bike. Just my .02

Or taking a ratty old garage sale Heavy Duti and cleaning it up. Every single ride is a pleasure because your elbow grease and time saved it's life.
