But seriously, there isn't a "right" answer. If you're time rich and money poor, go for the building option, beg, borrow or steal (and make sure that you are waiting to get the best deal instead of running out to buy components when you are excited. Otherwise your bike will end up very expensive). If you're time rich and money rich, go for the build and buy whatever you want. If you're time poor and money rich, OTP all the way. You'll start upgrading and then you can build up your spares into a beater anyway.
