Seeking advice on whether to buy an old ti cross frame

Buy it and hang it on your wall.

When you first wanted a DEAN it was like this bike, right? So buy it, put a fork on it, build it with the components you already have. Ride it. If it's not as cool as you thought it would be sell it. You already have a do-it-all coupled bike so you really don't need another.
