Would it be worth it?

To buy this frame, http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FRHOCO/holdsworth-competition-frameset a decent Campagnolo groupset some decent wheels and other stuff and make up my own bike? Well when i say make up my own bike i mean pay someone to put it all together.

Would have to wear welders goggles while putting it together!

It's only orange and blue! Though the drab grey one is sold out. Maybe there's no accounting for taste?

Do you have some kind of money laundering scheme going on with Planet X? You seem awfully keen to give them lots of your money!

Only joking. Looks smart. I have a nosebleed if I ride anything more adventurous than dark blue! Like that it's steel myself.
Can see it ending up as a money pit if it was me, would start justifying that extra couple of hundred coz something would look perfect!

I like the colour so why not get it and have lots of fun with it.

I'm thinking it might cost around 1300 quid after parts and labour costs.

If you got the dosh and your happy with the price you will be getting a smart bike with personalised spec, sounds good!

 

[Mrs M]

Very smart.
Got to get the bike to match the jersey, go for it!

Great looking frame and like that it's steel.

But then again I'm a magpie for anything orange!

Unless you only want Campag, you can get one built with Shimano 105 for £1200

Steel Holdsworths MUST be Orange and Blue ... to match the Kit.
Yes at that price I'd buy one but then I'm a fan.
I would also do a custom build with Campag. No black componants only silver. A modern take on the old classic .... (I'd go with blue bar tape, but that's just me ....).
For extra tartiness I'd go with handbuilt silver rims on large flange hubs (Velo Orange).

Enjoy!
