Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and am excited about posting & reading all the stuff on here. I dont want to bore anyone so I'll keep my introduction short. I am 37 years of age and have been riding since I was 11, I am by no means a Pro but ride mostly for fitness reasons. I am Originaly from Liverpool, England but currently live in North Carolina. I have had many bikes, none of them very good and I currently own a Peugoet Carbolite 103. I now, in my old age, want to get a good quality bike and "kick it up a knoch" in my riding. I was given a frame, a few weeks ago by a friend who came across it in a house auction, I am looking to build a bike from it as it seems a good frame and so my question is, is it worth the money buying components for it or should I just buy a really good bike?

The frame is made by Finnpeak (TR01) I have been to their web site and I dont think they make them anymore, I have been to a couple of bike shops here but they either scratch their heads and then try to sell me one of their bikes or they just dont know, I like the idea of building it up over time, (also mostly because of funds) and choosing difference components but if this is not a very good frame, maybe I should just save and buy a whole bike.

I weighed it and it was 3 pounds, I dont know if that is heavy for a road bike frame but it feels light to me :confused:
I will try do get a picture of it if anyone is interested, I think it is beautifull, so I would appreciate any suggestions from the forum on what to do

Thanks for everyones patience :thumbup:
