You could also (assuming money is tight and you have time on your side) go to E-Bay buy a NOS frame and fork and then wait till you have more cash and go back to E-Bay and and find NOS components. Recently there was a complete Suntour Cyclone road group in the box, Cyclone stuff was extremily high quality that beat anything Shimano or Campy was doing back then, and Cyclone on E-Bay does not sell for as much as Campy especially.

There is a method of knowing whether or not a seller is any good and a method of bidding correctly, if you have questions about that repost a new question or ask on this post if interested.
I've been on ebay more or less since its inception, but any tips you have would be really helpful. I actually figure money is more on my side than time, at this point.

Did not sound like price was negotiable to below $100, much less $50. Been considering buying a complete NOS on ebay or elsewhere, gonna look for an older bike till I feel I can't put it off any longer, and if I can't find one by then I'll buy new or nos.
