this is a good idea.

i've recently done this by purchasing an ebay road chinese noname CF frame and fork and headset (370 delivered). built it up with an ENO eccentric rear hub and mostly vintage 80'ls components (front brake only). final price was way less than 1000. it came in at about 13lbs. couldn't be happier with it.
