Should be ready to start building soon enough. Got most of the parts together in the last week using Ebay. Managed to come well under my projected budget on most items. Wheelset was probably the one I under estimated, though if you don't include shipping I was only a dollar and a few cents off. I've also decided to run a wider gear range on this, so I'll be running a double crankset up front.

My part list so far:

Shimano 105 crank, currently a single 44T chainring. I'm going to add a 38T.
Shimano Ultegra FD
Shimano Deore LX RD (I'm going to pull this off my current bike)
Shimano 105 Brake Levers (non-STI)
11-25 9 speed cassette
Shimano clipless A520 pedals
VO Saddle (pulled off current bike)
NYC Bikes Cyclocross Fork
Dura Ace hubs on Matrix ISO C-II rims
Tektro Road Brakes

At this point I am $163.99 under budget (Doesn't include the RD or saddle I am taking off the old bike) from the $512.50 I originally projected.

Need to get a bottom bracket, the new chainring, headset and the cables and other bits to get it going.
