Welllllllllllllll.....I definitely appreciate everyone's input, really! I just scored a (literally) complete build up from a guy for $400. It's all new as well! WTB wheels, Shimano hydraulics (yes, with 160 rotors...but, don't worry, I'm not done upgrading...bike swap at the end of May you know) a Tora fork with the remote lock....I mean, everything down to the cockpit set up as well with FSA bars and stem and a WTB slimline saddle. So, my $75 9'r frame is now a $475 bike. I figure if I had bought the wheels and the fork by themselves, that would have been at the very least $400 right there. Turns out, the guy works at the lbs "right around" the corner from me and he tore down a Bianchi SOK bike and was able to keep all the parts....voila!

The only thing I'm waiting on now are some pedals, which I just bought from a very nice BF memeber I did already order a nicer seatpost and a Ti saddle and I'll put those on as soon as they get here and then get the last of the tweaks done before it's maiden ride, probably next week I hope. And of course....I'll through a couple of pics up in the rigs thread when it's all done.

Thanks again y'all!
