Potential first project!

Now what about this frame?

Specialized, Aluminum, £40 can't go wrong. Can I?

IMO, yes.

There are two frames on this thread. One had an RRP of about £100 and the other £500.

If you want some honest advice, snap that S-Works up for £80. Its a GREAT frame that has been refinished to a high standard by APi (who I know). I'm almost tempted to nab it myself ;)

It'll make for an amazing project bike. Your first project could be the best you ever do!

This sounds like great advice to me. The allure and quality of the stumpie will be worth the extra bucks.
 
Advice taken. In which case I'm going to put my project on hold for a bit. Budget is tight and I want to get it right!

It's a marathon not a sprint!

Thanks for the advice peeps.
 
You could watch and make an offer if it doesn't sell, but reckon if your looking for bang for your buck getting a full bike and selling/swaping/upgrading to your own tastes would be the best route. Good luck anyroads :D

Yep, I'm starting to think this too. This also has the added bonus of being ready to ride from the off. Like you say I will also be able to swap/sell the parts too.
