I'd hold off building a bike until I had more money...however, what worked for me...find a used frame and a good used donor bike whose parts can be swapped...I did this a while ago and saved a lot if I had bought new...a one year old frame/fork/crank was less than 35% of new, the donor bike was $400 cdn, I bought a new seatpost, tires, and cables...then sold the donor frame/fork for $250 cdn
Voila, our fuji cruz:
