I was given an old pug frame, which I converted relatively cheaply (although more expensive than I thought beforehand!)as a first go. It is a lovely beater/commuter...
I am now working on a second build - taking my time, waiting for the right parts to come up, thinking about what I want it to be, spending the right amount of money...
Basically, what I am saying IMHO is get stuck into your first build. Have some fun with it... I would then settle back and work out exactly what you want for your 'premier ride'.
