The Clem frameset is $1,300 so that would leave you $700 for parts to stay at $2k. I would put together a spreadsheet list of parts with prices and total that up to see. Which bike would suit you needs better? I would not base my decision on a few hundred dollars if this is to be a long-term bicycle for you. Doug

This is all so helpful. My dilemma is, I can grab a Platy complete for $2500. I’m tempted to grab a Clem frame but worried the total build will exceed that. Don’t know how unrealistic my thinking is, whether I can put a sick Clem together with a magic vibe for under $2k Franco Rinaldi
-Pardon any typos, Siri typed this message- I bought a Clem complete and replaced several parts to suit my preferences. I bought a few tools along the way and learned to install and adjust several parts. The completes seem to be good value.

I would second the Soma recommendation above - they frequently have amazing sales of like 60-75% off. Recently had Clipper cranks for $50. I'd also recommend budget Shimano v-brakes and a cheapo rear derailleur which you can find on ebay or A'zon for ~$10-15. Also check out these Velocity Cliffhanger wheels for $110-$130 (entire wheelset for less than $250).
Make sure you get the correct size, obviously.
Otherwise, check your local craigslist for handlebars and other parts. Velo Orange sometimes has deeep sales/discounts depending on what component you're looking for.

Please keep us informed of your total outlay. I'm interested in a budget Clem myself.
Ciao Everybody,
About to grab a Clem frame and really want to do a highly utilitarian / budget build. Wanted to start a thread with tips and suggestions!
Appreciate you guys,
