Now if you want to spend a lot on pure awesome fun human powered frame and wheels... I can show you were you can spend a whole LOT But they're so pretty...

Kidding aside... If you're going to put a lot of miles down, think of it as an investment. Well engineered frames and components ride so much better. That 'bent was my first frame without 20+ year old components - that will teach you to appreciate the good stuff Of course, if it gets stolen that just totally sucks :/
