OK, I see how it looks. I meant I thought about getting the frameset and building it because I wanted to choose a lot of my own kind of gear like silver bars, stem, seatpost then WTB Speed saddle, Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tires, the new sealed Shimano hubs, Shimano pedals etc. So it would be a custom build of my personal preferences on the bike.
But I do appreciate the replies. I think if I do it, I'm leaning on the idea of going 36T and 11-36T.
