What would be the ultimate bike? An FGSS special

i dont understand this whole i dont have the time to build a bike, whats the rush?

My approach was find and research frames, buy frame, research and by drivetrain and headset, install components, chuck on old wheels, seatpost and saddle, stem brakes and handlebar from old bike and then ride!

keep looking for the wheels and whatnot to and when you have your ideal setup, or just by a group of parts becuase they are a bargain

rebuild first bike to its former glory and have two bikes, one beater and one for best.

then sell random bits accumulated along the way to make oneself feel better about having spent so much money on a new bike,

then proceed to worry about locking new bike/ getting puncture in the tubs anywhere so you dont ride it and just use the beater.*

*any resemblance to me is purely coincedental

Case in point right there, you need a bike to ride while you're building up the new bike.
