No, I havn't thought of reading as a 'prized skill' since I was about 4
What i'm trying to say is, by the time you've bought a carbon fork and seatpost and fitted headset etc, you'll have probably spent over £200 anyway, and you'll be left with a frameset with little re-sale value and mediocre ride, which will probably weigh a lot more than advertised, and with no geometry information.
Edit: This thread is about building a light bike, which is why the OP is going for a Seta. We were recommending the Pre-cursa to you, although if the end goal was to get the Seta aswell, why not just save up for a bit longer, and avoid the hassle/expense of re-selling a frameset?
