Bikes: It's the motor, not the bike, right?

Lemond MAILLOT JAUNE- deal or no deal?

Ok, I posted before, and now I have the right name for the frameset I'm considering. It is a 2002 Maillot Jaune Reynolds 853 frame and carbon fork. It has a few thousand (2-3,000) miles on it and looks to be in pretty good shape. Seller wants $80 for it. I'm thinking of one day building it up to a roadie, but should I just wait and buy a whole bike w/ components? It seems like that is usually cheaper. I'm on a tight college student budget and I'm not sure if it would be a good deal once I built it up with decent components, as I've never done a build this nice. Anyway- would you buy it or not?
