Most everyone on this group could tell the story about how they knew Bike X was the right bike for them, but they couldn't afford it. They searched for Bike Y which was almost as good and half the price. Then they upgrade, fix, enhance Bike Y to get it closer to what Bike X would have been. The total cost of Bike Y ends up being higher than Bike X would have been. Finally, give up Bike Y at a huge loss and buy Bike X.
The point being: Sometimes the cheapest option is to save up until you can buy the right bike, whatever the price. I don't know if that's the situation here.
