is buying a frameset and slowly building it an option for you? Because you have 'bin' the crankset with bafang, I had to replace brake hoses for wider taller bars too. Saddle too.
Maybe, but I have a habit of buying the wrong bits when I do that and kicking myself so would rather as much of it as possible was put together by someone else. I can put things together no problem, it's knowing what to put together I have less confidence in.
