new parts/frames are overrated. Old crap is plenty good enough to get you hoofing it around london with the best of them. Save the bling bike for sunday best and get something NOW that you can just use to get going. This has been said echoed through the forum as long as i've been on here and i got the message pretty quick.
I intend to bring my next build in ever cheaper than the last.
That said i'd happily throw some g's at 14 if i could. But it prob wouldn't be as much fun as my first and now 2nd homebuilt bike with more on the way. Cheap is fun and easy, worry about hundreds of quid here and there is not worth the hassle for a bike imo.
I really hope you get exactly what you want out of your bike whichever way you go and that it looks/rides how you want. Just dont feel you have to spend a certain amount of money to get a good bike.
