How about just build an actual beater? Then you learn something other than how to calculate shipping, AND you don't have to take it to get serviced like a lemon, since you can do it yourself.
Also you'll be able to lock it up with relative peace of mind. You won't be fretting about chipping it. And you might actually end up with something with a bit of character that you can be proud of.
Plus you will save SO MUCH MONEY and you can spend it on your sunday bike.
