FWIW, when i first started out i was on an £800 bianchi which i eventually singlespeeded, i put it back together and flogged it for £600 which fincanced a shitty £100 SS and then freed up the rest for a project which i'm close to finishing, it's been so much more fun sourcing the parts myself, i don't think i would ever buy off the peg again, even if i was totally minted. I'd be like tommy and buy a Bob Jackson then build it up slowly, there's plenty of people on here that will help you out, the choice... is yours! Oh, and i think people admire your bike more if it's unusual too ;)
Good luck :)
