king hs on a valencia = lulz

you basically picked the go-to nicest of the nice parts for everything but the bars rims and cranks. get omnoms and put all that stuff on a nicer frameset(godzilla, gorilla, dodici, superpista, dolan) or just substitute 'origin8' for every name brand you listed and put it on a traitor bike or mission bike. if you can't afford the nice frame, don't spend the money on the nice parts. all city and origin8 make great parts for cheap. go with them.

fwiw i love traitor bikes and they make some really nice framesets. don't be fooled though, traitor bikes and mission bikes are both made in the same taiwanese factories and they put most of their work into paint schemes. the design of the frame is mostly taiwanese afaik. that said, i like traitor bike's offerings way more.
