Thank you for the suggestion. Since I don't have the time or money to invest in filling in the component gaps, I have decided to forego the idea of selling a complete bike. I also don't want someone depending on my mechanicking. The components I curated over the last two years are the result of hours of research and a lot of money, so I am sure they will end up on my next bike. It is the result of being 5'10" with a PBH of 91.5" with the net being a cockpit with easily reachable handlebars despite a saddle set way back and a long pedal stroke. Many of the components are the third or fourth iteration so those are staying! I also now have the luxury of collecting the last few components I wanted over time when bargains surface. It will be fun to build up a bike as soon as the frame arrives instead of thinking about what to buy!
