I would look at option 1 and see what else you can get for the money, which should then help you consider if route 2 is the best option or not. Bear in mind with Covid tax 2nd hand bike prices are high currently, so if you're not in a rush you could sit on the money for a few months and snap up something you like when it appears.

Looking at the list of parts, i'd get on ebay to check the costs of 2nd hand and see the total bill.If its more than 75% of the £1200, i'd not bother as there could be other bits you need to find as you remove the broken stuff.

What sort of practicality do you need? Do you need something only for commuting and then a bit of fun, or more fun but is capable of commuting?
