I am currently entertaining 2 seperate purchases. One involves two 351 frames, one with good quality components is complete and rideable with the exception of tires. The other a bare frame. They may be half an inch tall for me, but dead cheap for two frames. Both need paint.

The second is perfectly sized and in beautiful, ornate condition, but the bare frame costs as much as the other two.

I will be buying in a foreign country without handling them. When I arrive, I will either have a rideable bike, not configured ideally and a project frame, or I will have a dream frame but bare, and nothing to ride.

My plan is to ultimately have One 351 bike set up with primarily Campy components as a upright tourer.

Buy two for one, not perfect but one rideable and one buildable, and cheap (like $300 for both)

Or one perfect frame I will have to build while there? ($300)
