well for now, i'd like to start with a decent bike then later on when things start going bad i will replace them... i just dont feel like messing /w the bike i have now... so, i will learn how to wrench but hopefully just when the parts start going back.

edit: Max i think i could pull like 1.5 hrs a night to build it, but i dont even know if i have the proper tools. for now, for times sake, i'd rather buy and upgrade down the future than start from scratch. though, frame, fork, bars, and wheels (not hubs; i dont think) are decent. 80s fuji frame, matching blue mavic cxp 22 or 23s (dont recall and not at home to check), 90s cuda hubs, and an old shimano crank... would it be worth my time to strip it and repaint it and get some new hubs and crank (mine is slightly bent the guy at the LBS told me). one problem is is that i dont want to repaint it the same blue, and the wheels... so.... that's why i was looking towards buying and upgrading in the future.
