Angel,

I faced a similar situation two years ago. I had purchased a 1976 Eisentraut Model A custom frame and fork that was never built up. I then proceeded to gather together a complete NOS, period correct Super Record group. One day I laid everything out on the floor and marveled at the beauty of it all. But, it paled in comparison to the stunningness of that frame wearing all its jewelry. And nothing compares to riding a piece of art. So, build on my friend! This is definitely a case where the whole far exceeds the sum of the parts.
