Does this initial idea seem reasonable?
I have found that a Kit cost less than the sum of the parts. So building a frame may seem logical, though you may end up spending more money for the remaining parts than the Kit cost.

You may want to do price comparisons before you actually start to find the best route to take on your extremely 3D adventurous journey.
