I have the Leader 796-R frame, its definitely a nice frame for the money. I picked it up on CL and got a killer deal. In your position I would look into a used bike on ebay or CL. Of course if you are really set on building your own then that's cool too, its a lot of fun.

A couple of people on this thread(https://forums.roadbikereview.com/sho...59842&page=13) (page 13, posts 312 & 320) have built that frame up. No experience with it myself.
