The parts ended up in Canada, financing a few of the truly budget parts.

I continue to like the Microshift 9-sp shifter/brake levers. Easy to shift, definite and accurate shifting, and cheap. I put the Microshift RD and FD back in the box because I had the 105 stuff on hand. Wheels from IthaDan here on BF C&V. Super-cheapo Chinese-sourced post, stem, bars, wrap, saddle, and the Schwalbe tires were pretty reasonable, too.
