I've always bought a frame and and built up from there. My preferred brands are making that increasingly difficult lately, particularly when certain models aren't offered as frame only or when certain colorways are only available as completes. In addition, my next upgrade will move me to boost spacing (thanks bike industry!) so I'll need to replace at least my rear hub to build on the cheap. GRRRR!
