Hey, well earlier I had made a topic about whether or not I should purchase an Bianchi Brava 2004 model with 105 group set for $300. But after talking to a friend at work, he suggested buying an average used road bike and just upgrade it and restore it. So now I am wondering which would be the best route? Spending $300 or putting X''amount of money into a bike, restore it and repaint it? I wouldn't mind spending the $300 but if I could save some money, especially since the holidays are coming up, it would be allot nicer.

Thanks in advance
