Which would you go all the way with ????

Hello this isn't my usual stomping ground I'm usually found lurking in the road section.
I have a few road bikes, a modern MTB and quite like the idea of having a retro MTB fully done like my road bikes. I have a frame only Rock Lobster that I picked up whilst collecting another bike from ebay and a Ridgeback 701lx which I rescued from a skip it had no rear wheel and someone had stamped on the rear stays I've managed to get the Ridgeback up and running and have even done a retro ride on it.
So my dilemma is should I do a build on the Lobster or should I tart up the 701 having not ridden the lobster will it be as good as the 701 which I've got a soft spot for. Also I hope to do a bike jumble this weekend and was thinking of putting the lobster up for sale and once its gone its gone pretty sure its not a Sadoff just one of the Taiwanese jobbies.

Rock lobsters are goooood.

But if you've got a soft spot for the ridgeback, that'd be the way I'd go

I'd say keep the Ridgeback as it is, build the Rock Lobster up as a project and then keep the one you like best

Re:

Which lobster is it? I've just built an Al Expert the one with Kinesis tubing and I love it! I don't really like aluminium frames so I expected to hate it but its proved to be a revelation to me.

Build them all! Then build more.

I'd take the Lobster to the bike jumble with the price you want in mind and if it sells for that then decision made. If it doesn't? Well then your back to square one!
Is the 701LX Tange Prestige?

If I let the garden get like that Ms bling would probably take a chain set and bury it in my skull
@ Chrisv40 its a steel frame set


The Ridgeback is tange prestige thats what saved it from the skip


Wheels and pedals where part of an ebay job lot


some more parts collected along the way

Re:

The Lobster, no question about it

Great steel frames.

Lock Robster is much better.

I've just shown LGF's picture to Mrs Shedobits hoping to demonstrate how reasonable I am. She walked away looking worried!
Oh, build the Lobster.
