I can't be bothered to build it up then strip it down. Especially since within 24 hours it'll all be done. Not sure why I bothered waiting for the original shop - didn't think it'd take over a month to get the stuff in stock though.
It's not worth taking the risk for a custom frame made of very thin steel tubing. Like it or not, steel will rust. Protecting it reduces the rust. Win!
