Thanks for the link and all the useful info on headsets.

@Kimmo
I hadn't thought of going with ergos, thats an idea I will have to look more into.

Thanks for all the input so far everone. I realize that building a bike used from used parts is probably not what most would consider a smart move. I am doing it because I have lots of time and can afford to spend 50 here and 50 there and am in no hurry to get it done. I am also doing it because I want to learn how build/repair bikes and figure this would be the best way to learn; hands-on and at my own pace. And while I am going to be procuring the vast majority of my parts from craigslist, that doesn't always mean used; here in Denver there is healthy amount of new parts or new bike takeoffs being sold. and I have done some work on my mtb before, nothing serious but replacing cables, servicing pod shifters, repacking wheel bearings, and some other small repairs.
