actually not necessary so, hell, it's entirely possible to get a great bike for less than an unipack, all it take is a decent frame, take the decent part you brought for the unipack (open pro wheelset for instance), and you'll end up loving the ride more.
there's no need to spend a handful of cash, just keep checking the classified section for decent (usually 531 tubing) frame for a song, and bingo, you got it sorted.
Yep that's the intention, and learn some diy while doing it... :)
