True, it's still far far from cheap but it's possibly less intimidating for first timers. Depending on the model you might be able to buy new spokes for your rims and have them relaced by someone at a bicycle shop, I did that with one of mine after I got the rims rechromed.

Bikes make great projects. Not that they're cheap but there's a lot less body, no interior, less wiring etc than a car project.
