i cant be completely hateful. i did the same this with an extra road frame but the least you could do is use a tasteful seatpost, crank, and brakes.
what carbon bike did you buy? i nearly bought a tarmac e5 today...
here is my townie:
the seatpost, bb, and saddle were "extras" the stem/bars were cheap, the cranks were "free" NOS parts (i got lucky), i stole the pedals off my mtb i plan to sell soon, and the front brake was an ebay orphan. the only parts i bought new was the wheelset and brake lever. the plan is to eventually use the wheels for sscx but as it stands now i have about $500 in the wheelset and $600 in the entire build (wheelset and all)

That right there ain't right 
It's got a seat mast and Force, what is the world coming to
Those bars cost more than most Schwinn bikes

This was a frame replacement due to a previous discontinued carbon bike (LBS found a hairline crack) so all of the components are mine. The actual Series 9 comes with Shimano Dura-Ace, FSA and Easton EA90 SLX wheels.

WV is not flat..
This is my current favorite ride. After putting about 2000 miles on it so far this year, I have really gotten to like the ride. It's a custom build of mine. Old school styling with new school rideability.

I present to you Isabella. She is a 2008 Colnago CLX. Ultegra SL, FSA K-Force Crank and Stem, FSA Professional handlebar and Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels. Loving it! Ones of the fastest bikes I've ever ridden.

It's been a while since I've posted a picture of my bike.
Today, I cleaned up the cables a bit. The rear brake cable was a tad short, and the computer wires were all jumbled up in the front. There was also some stuff near the bottom bracket area... which I presume was dirt and sugar from drink mixes. It took a little scrubbing to get off, but it's all clean.
Oh, I also added some 3M Scotchlite tape, which comes in black. It's hard to notice it during the day, and it also has a double function. Keeps the frame from getting chain slap and I also added some on the headtube for cable rub.
Here's a picture with flash.
